Multipass vs GraalVM: What are the differences?

What is Multipass? Instant Ubuntu VMs. It's a system that orchestrates the creation, management and maintenance of virtual machines and associated Ubuntu images to simplify development.

What is GraalVM? A universal virtual machine for running applications (by Oracle). An ecosystem and shared runtime offering performance advantages not only to JVM-based languages such as Java, Scala, Groovy, and Kotlin, but also to programming languages as JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and R. Additionally, it enables the execution of native code on the JVM via LLVM front-end.

Multipass and GraalVM can be primarily classified as "Virtual Machine" tools.

Some of the features offered by Multipass are:

  • Ubuntu LTS on tap
  • Up to date
  • Native hypervisor

On the other hand, GraalVM provides the following key features:

  • Polyglot - Zero overhead interoperability between programming languages allows you to write polyglot applications and select the best language for your task
  • Native - Native images compiled with GraalVM ahead-of-time improve the startup time and reduce the memory footprint of JVM-based applications
  • Embeddable - GraalVM can be embedded in both managed and native applications. There are existing integrations into OpenJDK, Node.js, Oracle Database, and MySQL

GraalVM is an open source tool with 13.2K GitHub stars and 960 GitHub forks. Here's a link to GraalVM's open source repository on GitHub.

What are some alternatives to GraalVM and Multipass?
Scala Native
Scala Native is a new ahead-of-time compiler and lightweight managed runtime designed specifically for Scala. Project is currently in pre-release stage.
Node.js
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
Docker
The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere
Golang
Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
Git
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
