Track Overview
Java - Performance, Patterns and Predictions
Java may be a mature language, but it continues to change and evolve. Not only do new versions bring new idioms and APIs, but fashions change and alternative patterns of working continue to be embraced. With the software landscape changing to embrace multi-core, smaller design, and cloud deployments, developers need to understand how these feature sets impact fundamentals like performance, concurrency, and Java's ubiquity. This track focuses on these trends and reminds us of our fundamental computer science principles and how they're applicable in this modern world.

From Concurrent to Parallel
As core counts continue to increase, how we exploit hardware parallelism in practice shifts from concurrency — using more cores to handle more user requests — to parallelism — using more cores to solve data-intensive problems faster. This talk will explore the different goals, tools, and...

Thinking Strategically About IoT
Cool? Useful? Disruptor? All of the above? IoT is having an impact on more and more industries. As the cost of instrumenting things and collecting data drops, the possibilities for what we can control and the kind of insights we can gather increase. Not only is IoT hardware cheaper and more...

Real World Java 9
The feature we always hear about whenever Java 9 is in the news is Jigsaw (or modularity). But this doesn't scratch the same developer itch that Java 8's lambdas and streams did, and we're left with a vague sensation that the next version might not be that interesting. Java 9 actually has a lot...

Using FlameGraphs To Illuminate The JVM
FlameGraphs offer us a new way to visualize execution profiles, combined with Linux system profiler perf and the recently added -XX:+PreserveFramePointer option in JDK 8u60 we now have for the first time a way to capture a comprehensive profile for the OS, JVM and your Java code. In this...

Event Sourcing on the JVM
Have you ever wondered about event sourced systems and how they work? How to structure things around a transaction log yet still keep the system stable over time when change arises. In this talk we will look at Event Sourcing as a concept as well as specific JVM based implementations that are...
