Using Shared Memory-Mapped Files in Java

What are you working on these days?

We're focusing very much on making our software as deployable and manageable as possible. In the past, we've focused on making it super fast and it's easy to use, but now we're very much shifting towards ease of deployment and manageability.

And what are the goals for your session?

It's really about challenging expectations, one of my frustrations when people talk about latency, they are talking about milliseconds, which is a red flag for me. Instead, we do everything in microseconds and sometimes nanoseconds.

It’s all too common to stop tuning code when it’s good enough or meets your expectations. I have published benchmarks even for competitors’ products at half the latency they publish by improving the way the product is tested and tuned.

What is it that you would like people to leave with after watching your session?

People to think differently about what is achievable with software, different ideas of what's possible, in Java in particular.
