GraalVM vs. Supabase

If you want to have a cool VM, don't spend too much memory and mainly being multilanguage go ahead. Be aware there are some points that can be improved like a couple of languages are not accepted so far. Like used to, it's easy to use and you can find a lot of information regarding the tool so if you need to do something fast, it's a good choice.

Supabase can be used for strong custom backends for games and full-stack web applications. Self-hosting is not as great of an option just yet, and Supabase is still being developed actively so there are still legitimate problems that can be encountered, but this project seems to be going in a positive direction and has been useful for us.

• Best performance of applications
• High efficiency of applications
• Reduced hardware requirements
• Lesser consumption of resources
• Universal support to multiple programming languages
• Reduced size of applications
• Creation of virtual images for testing on Android and iOS mobile operating systems
• Creation of native images
• Excellent support
• Documentations are detailed enough to learn and use easily
• Easy to use

• Getting up and running quickly and cheaply
• Edge functions
• Flexibility with login options
• Data GUI
• Settings GUI

• It should be possible to use GraalVM EE to distribute native images of JavaFX applications for mobile platforms, especially for Apple platforms.
• Native Images are a game changer. However, compiling complex applications can be a pain. Better support for an improved transition process are a must.

• The policies preventing turning off a server are nonsense
• On a lower pricing tier, reaching a usage limit can prevent setting modification to go back under that usage limit
• It's still in beta, so use in production can be problematic at times

It still takes some ability to be able to use all the features, but you may not need to use all the features. Even though a lot of Supabase is straightforward, you will still want experienced backend developers working with this tech. I wouldn't recommend having frontend specialists deal with this much.

The support we received when porting legacy applications from the GraalVM team and community was commendable. We were able to get assistance in introducing alternatives for the libraries we were using where appropriate. GraalVM support was also able to help us with some configuration options we were stuck with for configuring deployment environments on AWS compute.

The reason why we had to select GraalVM one is [a] cutting-edge compiling technique, GraalVM is well operated in the Environment of Open JDK, which speeds up the execution of Java programs. GraalVM makes creating packages and native apps simpler, and this improves distribution. It also brings native image support [that] makes compilation and distribution easy and effective.

The extent of the options offered by Supabase far exceeded other similar products we've tried in the past. Also, their documentation has been excellent for us. Self-hosting is not what it's cracked up to be, but that's usually the case with these kinds of tools, anyway. I don't know anyone else I've talked to about Supabase who self-hosts, either. For something super micro small, Pocketbase is genuinely self-hostable, but it's been best for prototypes and proofs-of-concept, perhaps not with something expecting a lot of users. That's where Supabase's scalability and flexibility become more valuable.

• Financial: Increased Java container count on the same hardware.
• Performance: Decreased cold start time for container startup.
• Training: Adopting GraalVM has a learning curve. This requires investment in time and resources. The benefits come through re-evaluating our current deployments for optimization.

Incentivized

• Gave us a scalable system to reduce a client's backend costs by over 75%
• Allowed us to get a custom backend up for an internal plugin in half the time we originally expected
