According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a computer-implemented method for shortening just-in-time compilation time includes creating a first container for executing a first computer program, the execution comprising generating, using a just-in-time compiler, a compiled code for a first code-portion of the first computer program. The method further includes storing the compiled code for the first code-portion in a code-share store. The method further includes creating a second container for executing a second computer program comprising a second code-portion. The method further includes determining that the second code-portion matches the first code-portion, and in response retrieving the compiled code from the code-share store for executing the second computer program.
