elide

the prettiest possible way to install maven deps

beautiful sf day at elide hq, what dreams are made of

Big shoutout to Typescript.fm for hosting our founder on the podcast. An opportunity to explain Elide is another opportunity to fall in love with it again. Cheers #typescript #Elide #Bun #Node #GraalVM #polyglot typescript.fm/bonus47

Some cool stuff in the beta11 release cycle: new classpath command, built-in S3 mock server, a bunch of polish. github.com/elide-dev/elide

@hthieblot ah, you mean @elide_sg

The next billion-dollar founder has 15 followers on X rn. I will find you & fund you!

@asmah2107 We fix this problem at a foundational level by eliminating the need for all the microservices in the first place

Quick question : You have 50 microservices, each with its own API. The frontend team is losing their mind. To render a single page, they make 10+ network calls. The app is sluggish. Users are complaining. How do you fix this ?

@GameShopCorp Really cool use case. We are doing a lot of work around GraalVM, and can help you if you get hung up. Think you could chat with us about your goals and experiences so far? elide.dev/discord

@SumitM_X Can’t forget the GraalVM ecosystem. For example, we are in beta and can support running many languages in the same process, and even natively. Shared memory & GC etc. Currently support #Kotlin (2.2.20), #Java (JDK 25), #TypeScript, & #Python w/ support coming for LLVM and WASM

Senior Java devs , do this :

@BrodaNoel @jxnlco Or skip the Node↔Python bridge and just call Python directly from TS. Our runtime supports this and does it all in the same process.

@jxnlco You can still do the SPECIFIC thing on python and then call that file from nodejs.

hate to say it.... but i regret building this backend in python. shoulda gone ts all the way.

@Piero_Go_ @BrodaNoel @jxnlco You could skip the FastAPI layer entirely. Our runtime lets your TypeScript call Python functions in-process. Same app, shared memory, no endpoints.

@BrodaNoel @jxnlco I will have my employee create the frontend AND backend with ts and then I will create simple stateless fastapi endpoints the backend can call. AI stuff goes in python.

@jxnlco With our runtime, you could call #Python functions directly from #TypeScript No separate service, no overhead

unless there is a SPECIFIC library i need in my backend its just not worth it. and maybe even then I'll spin it up as a modal endpoint but in the future im going to need to prove to myself i need python rather than convince myself to consider ts

@NickLaptev @SumitM_X Maybe not designed for it, but def not impractical now. What we’ve done is build a GraalVM native image that replaces javac, kotlinc, and jar. Gradle calls it directly, skipping JIT warmup. Java apps under 10K classes compile ~20× faster with fast cold starts.

Lol. Java and Spring were not designed for small cold start. Asking this means the person has no idea about their real use cases and the world around them. For small cold start Devs go with Python, Node and Go. Dancing with GraalVM is possible but again due to limitation of vision.

SPRINGBOOT performance based interview questions - - How can you optimize the startup time of app? -What is role of Actuator in monitoring startup time? - Explain how classpath scanning mechanism affects startup time - What are some tools/techniques to analyze startup time

Beta v10 is live: • Native Python HTTP serving • crypto.randomUUID() • Progress animations 👀 • JDK 25 + Kotlin 2.2.20 • Smoother builds, zero runtime Write in TypeScript, Python, or Kotlin, ship as one binary. github.com/elide-dev/elid… #java #kotlin #Elide #node #python

@samlambert Gigerenzer moment

you have to develop an intuition for knowing when a decision should be made in 5 minutes or 5 days.

@emrahdma Gradle invokes javac and runs it on the JVM. We ship it precompiled to native code. This skips JVM startup and JIT warmup. Gradle cannot do this without Elide, as it only uses regular JDK distributions.

@elide_dev Gradle can do this without Elide already. What am i missing?

@emrahdma Good catch, ty again! Updating docs is kinda like doing laundry 🥶

@elide_dev Oh i see! You might consider putting a comment over the Python function "# my-app.py" like you did with the typescript file

@emrahdma Hi Emrah, ty! We’re always working to keep docs current. Sometimes we're caught up in the code 😅 However, if the image below is what you’re referring to, this is as intended. The .ts file imports and calls a Python function to demonstrate Elide’s polyglot behavior. ⚡

@elide_dev You have a typo in your docs, Python hello example should have .py extension, not .ts

@banadiga It is definitely the best-in-class VM. We use it as an engine for our runtime/toolchain, adding our own build system, test runner, polyglot APIs, and packaging flow on top. Always up for a chat about it, elide.dev/discord

Happy to be here too!

@therealdanvega @mleitz1 Awesome stuff really. Native image has unlocked a lot of cool features for us.

@mleitz1 Not at all. You can compile Spring Boot apps to native images using GraalVM. Here is some documentation on that docs.spring.io/spring-boot/re…

I started recording a series of videos today around Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4. I’m probably covering most of what you’re looking for but just in case I’m not what do you want to learn more about? 👇
