The Time is Here for Just-in-Time Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
Researchers have developed Jitskit, a system that uses LLM-based coding agents to synthesize specialized key-value stores on demand. This approach contrasts with traditional methods that build general-purpose systems, offering significant performance gains. In tests, Jitskit-synthesized systems outperformed comparable state-of-the-art systems by up to 4.6x across various workloads and properties, demonstrating the potential of just-in-time system synthesis.
