[GraalJS] Facing High CPU and Memory consumption after upgrading from version 23 to 25

[manmohantarle]

Describe the Issue

Hello Team,

I'm using graalvm as a JS engine in camunda 7.24 community edition to execute javascript.

Earlier I was using version 23.0.6 and all my scripts were running properly without excessive cpu or memory consumption

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.graalvm.js</groupId>
    <artifactId>js-scriptengine</artifactId>
    <version>23.0.6</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.graalvm.js</groupId>
    <artifactId>js</artifactId>
    <version>23.0.6</version>
</dependency>

As soon as I upgraded the engine to 25.0.1, I started seeing excessive cpu and memory usage.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.graalvm.js</groupId>
    <artifactId>js-scriptengine</artifactId>
    <version>25.0.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.graalvm.js</groupId>
    <artifactId>js</artifactId>
    <version>25.0.1</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

I've not set any explicit graalvm config in application.yml or during runtime except these three flags
Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true", "-Dpolyglot.engine.WarnInterpreterOnly=false", "-Dpolyglot.js.ecmascript-version=2024

Can someone help me with this issue ?

Hi, I see you've added the native-image label, is this a native-image issue? or a GraalJS one?
Also, do you run this with GraalVM 25.0.1, or just the dependencies of js-scriptengine and js? if that's the case, can you run the project using Oracle GraalVM 25.0.1 and check if these CPU spikes are happening in this setup as well? Thank you

Hello @oubidar-Abderrahim, Sorry for the confusion, I'll update the issue title and lables. but yes I'm using GraalJS and not the native image.

I'm not running GraalVM jdk but just using the JS dependencies from camunda 7 to execute javascript steps/nodes on runtime.

I'll try running same workflow using Oracle GraalVM 25.0.1 and share updates here.

Thank you for your prompt response.
