[C4GT] POC GraalVM for UCI BE services

[karntrehan]

Project Details

Currently, the transaction layer services of our system are not compatible with GraalVM. We need to port all these services to GraalVM compatible code. The services that need to be ported include utils, message-rosa, adapter, transformer, broadcast-transformer, orchestrator, inbound, outbound, dao.

GraalVM is an emerging technology that offers better performance, security, and scalability compared to traditional JVM-based systems. By porting our transaction layer services to GraalVM compatible code, we can take advantage of these benefits and improve the overall performance and reliability of our system.

Porting these services to GraalVM compatible code requires expertise in GraalVM and experience in migrating code from traditional JVM to GraalVM. We need to allocate resources for this task and create a plan for the migration. We also need to ensure that the new code is tested and verified to work as expected.

Impact

Porting the transaction layer services of the system to GraalVM compatible code will have a significant impact on the current system. Firstly, the system's performance will improve due to the better optimization capabilities of GraalVM, resulting in faster response times and higher throughput. Secondly, the system's security will be enhanced as GraalVM provides stronger isolation and sandboxing mechanisms to prevent attacks. Thirdly, the system will become more scalable, as GraalVM allows for better utilization of system resources, reducing the need for additional hardware. However, porting the services to GraalVM compatible code will require resources and time, and there may be potential compatibility issues with existing code. Therefore, careful planning and testing will be crucial to ensure a smooth migration and minimize disruption to the current system.

Hi , I am Soumyo Nath Tripathy. I am looking forward contributing to this project, before that I have some questions regarding the project.
1>Are all the dependencies and libraries used by the transaction layer services compatible with GraalVM? It's important to verify that all the required components can be successfully migrated without any major compatibility issues.
2>While GraalVM offers better performance, it's important to assess the potential performance gains for your specific system. Have you conducted any benchmarks or performance tests to determine how much improvement can be expected by migrating to GraalVM?
