Runtime Inclusion vs Ahead Of Time Compilation
Developers should use runtime inclusion when building extensible applications that need to support plugins, load configuration-based modules, or reduce initial startup overhead by deferring resource loading meets developers should use aot compilation when building applications that require fast startup times, such as mobile apps, serverless functions, or embedded systems, as it eliminates runtime compilation overhead. Here's our take.
Runtime Inclusion
Developers should use runtime inclusion when building extensible applications that need to support plugins, load configuration-based modules, or reduce initial startup overhead by deferring resource loading
Runtime Inclusion
Nice PickDevelopers should use runtime inclusion when building extensible applications that need to support plugins, load configuration-based modules, or reduce initial startup overhead by deferring resource loading
Pros
- +It is essential in frameworks that support hot-reloading, microservices with dynamic service discovery, or applications requiring conditional feature activation based on runtime conditions
- +Related to: dependency-injection, reflection
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Ahead Of Time Compilation
Developers should use AOT compilation when building applications that require fast startup times, such as mobile apps, serverless functions, or embedded systems, as it eliminates runtime compilation overhead
Pros
- +It is also essential for security-sensitive or resource-constrained environments, like browsers with WebAssembly or IoT devices, where JIT compilation might be disabled or impractical
- +Related to: just-in-time-compilation, compiler-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Runtime Inclusion if: You want it is essential in frameworks that support hot-reloading, microservices with dynamic service discovery, or applications requiring conditional feature activation based on runtime conditions and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Ahead Of Time Compilation if: You prioritize it is also essential for security-sensitive or resource-constrained environments, like browsers with webassembly or iot devices, where jit compilation might be disabled or impractical over what Runtime Inclusion offers.
