Repository with AWSLambda examples for different frameworks Java Frameworks compiled for GraalVM such:
Benchmark tries to compare different Java frameworks that can be used to build AWS Lambda Function. Benchmark compares cold start time, hot start time, building process, etc.
All examples use GraalVM 22.3.0 cause at that time Spring & Quarkus latest available GraalVM build image
was GraalVM 22.3.0.
Those frameworks are limited by their plugins/buildpacks/etc, so you can't use latest available GraalVM native image
released, all depends on framework toolkit which upgrades with lag.
Thus, Micronaut & SimpleLambda have advantage as GraalVM building process & Jar building process can be easily independent.
| Spring Boot | Spring Cloud | Micronaut | Quarkus | SimpleLambda |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.1.3 | 4.0.5 | 4.0.3 | 3.3.0 | 1.0.0 |
Test data is collected based on 5 runs and average for each value is present in table below:
| Framework | Spring | Quarkus | Micronaut (Application) | Micronaut (Function) | SimpleLambda + Micronaut | SimpleLambda |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build (ms) | 527.4 | 349.0 | 442.8 | 398.8 | 278.5 | 237.1 |
| Duration (ms) | 212.1 | 236.5 | 110.9 | 63.2 | 18.3 | 31.8 |
| Billed (ms) | 739.8 | 586.0 | 554.2 | 462.4 | 297.2 | 282.6 |
| Memory (Mb) | 115 | 76 | 89 | 83 | 60 | 52 |

Hot start billed time is same across all competitors cause when function is instantiated it performs relatively fast.
Data is based on build benchmark in GitHub CI action:
| Framework | Spring | Quarkus | Micronaut (Application) | Micronaut (Function) | SimpleLambda + Micronaut | SimpleLambda |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build Time (sec) | 500 | 427 | 298 | 293 | 185 | 200 |
Result function zip archive size in Mb:
| Framework | Spring | Quarkus | Micronaut (Application) | Micronaut (Function) | SimpleLambda + Micronaut | SimpleLambda |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size (Mb) | 23.9 | 14.7 | 16.9 | 15.7 | 11.2 | 9.86 |
Table with some useful and interesting functionality that some frameworks provides, so it won't look that some frameworks are bad and others are great.
