In my initial post, I failed to mention the huge memory savings achieved by
the standalone executable (in addition to the startup time savings).
Note that using *time* at the command line resolves to a shell built-in
command. We can get more information from the standard Unix version of time:
# JVM+UberJar
> /usr/bin/time -l java -jar
target/hello-world-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar
Hello, World!
Goodbye...
1.20 real 2.47 user 0.24 sys
409 maximum resident set size (MB)
100469 page reclaims
3569 involuntary context switches
# Static Executable
> /usr/bin/time -l target/hello-world
Hello, World!
Goodbye...
0.00 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys
2 maximum resident set size (MB)
657 page reclaims
4 involuntary context switches
So we see that the maximum RSS memory requirement *was reduced from 409 MB
to 2 MB*. Yes, an improvement *over 200x!* Note also that context switches
have been *reduced by 900x,* and page reclaims by *about 200x*.
So, it is the combination of reduced startup time and vastly reduced memory
requirements that make standalone executables ideal for short-lived tasks,
especially in constrained environments such as serverless/lambda.
