About the IBM Runtime Technologies team:

The IBM Runtimes team is responsible for the development of innovative compiler and runtime technologies for Java, JavaScript and other dynamic languages.

We work with open-source programming languages and runtimes development communities, academia, and other IBM development, performance and functional test teams across the globe.

IBM has been contributing to V8 and Node.js open-source communities since 2013, delivering support and capabilities across multiple hardware platforms (e.g. x86, IBM Z and POWER) and operating systems. As part of its mission to deliver enterprise-ready runtimes, IBM has also contributed significant diagnostic tooling, like node-report for failure data capture, and appmetrics for live monitoring of Node.js applications. To spur more rapid innovation for Node.js developers, IBM has contributed to CloudNativeJS ( https://www.cloudnativejs.io/ ), a community project that provides assets and tools to help all developers to build best-practice Cloud Native Node.js applications and deploy them to cloud platforms.
