SESSION + Live Q&A
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 session, we explore the JVM and Java applications using this new perspective and reflect on the profiles and the utility of this new method:
- Introduction to FlameGraphs
- Old School? FlameGraphs using jstack and honest-profiler
- perf-map-agent + FlameGraphs + Java
- Java code left+right+center (oh yes, you are so special my child!)
- Profiling the profilers
- Compilers ate my mother profile
- GC thrashed my dad profile
- And more advanced FlameGraphs usage as time permits!

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...

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...
