MYRA's Philosophy

MVP.Express is built as a modern, forward-looking stack of Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) based Java infrastructure libraries. We believe Java can achieve performance levels comparable to C, C++, and Rust while retaining the safety guarantees of the JVM and access to the vast Java ecosystem.

Our vision is to power the next generation of greenfield Java projects for the coming one to two decades—at minimum. Whether you're building ultra-low-latency trading systems, high-throughput data pipelines, or performance-critical microservices, MVP.Express provides the foundational infrastructure to make it possible.

We hope MVP.Express inspires other Java developers to build similar high-performance, modern FFM-based libraries—or to build innovative solutions on top of the MYRA Stack. The techniques we've developed for zero-copy serialization, io_uring integration, and off-heap memory management are patterns that can benefit the broader Java community.

Java has long been dismissed for performance-critical workloads. With FFM (finalized in JDK 22), we now have the tools to challenge that perception. MVP.Express demonstrates what's possible when you embrace modern Java capabilities without compromise.

MVP.Express is currently in an experimental phase. We're actively iterating on APIs, optimizing performance, and refining the developer experience. This is an exciting time to get involved—your feedback directly shapes the direction of the project.

We deeply appreciate constructive feedback, suggestions, and contributions. The best way to share your thoughts is through GitHub Discussions on the MVP.Express organization.

In the spirit of transparency, a significant portion of MVP.Express code and documentation has been generated with AI assistance—primarily using GitHub Copilot with Google Gemini Pro, and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet & Opus models.

This approach was chosen deliberately to rapidly build a minimum viable product that could attract high-performance Java enthusiasts and early adopters. AI tooling accelerates development, but human expertise guides architecture decisions, reviews generated code, and ensures quality. We believe this hybrid approach represents the future of software development.

Are you building latency-sensitive applications? Working on high-throughput systems? Interested in pushing Java's performance boundaries? We want to hear from you.

Critical feedback from real-world use cases is invaluable. Whether you find a bug, hit a performance bottleneck, or have ideas for new features—your input helps MVP.Express mature into production-ready infrastructure.
