Problems of Current Java Frameworks

Why Reflection-Free Matters?

  • Reflection data are kept in memory unless GCed
  • Using reflection is slower
  • Breaks Ahead-of-Time compilation (GraalVM)

Other Java's Problem

  • Limited annotation API
  • Type erasure
  • Classpath scanning
  • Slow dynamic class loading

Why is Cloud Different?

  • Cold starts
  • Pricing model
    • Memory / CPU
    • Time spent
