Description
In SeBS, we initially focused on Python and Node.js, and have work-in-progress support for C++ and Java. However, in addition to standard language runtime available in the clouds, there is an opportunity to use unofficial runtimes that can provide better performance: PyPy for Python, LLRT and Bun for JavaScript, GraalVM for Java. For that, we need to build custom Docker images or try to ship the language runtime with code package (Azure, GCP).

Research direction
Begin by reviewing the existing Python and Node.js runtime support, along with the work-in-progress C++ and Java support. Compare custom Docker images with shipping runtimes in the code package for Azure and GCP, and define how PyPy, LLRT, Bun, and GraalVM would be supported. Done means the selected unofficial runtimes are available for benchmarking.
