Agenda

  • Introduction:
    o War stories from participants
    o Key Concepts, Metrics and Questions
    o Principles and Strategies to improve Performance o Typical bottlenecks of modern applications
  • Multi-threading
    o Thread Pools: mechanics, tuning parameters, typical usage scenarios
    o Multi-threading Risks: race bugs, deadlocks, thread pool starvation
    o [on request] Concurrency Primitives: Lock, Semaphore, CyclicBarrier, wait-notify o Concurrency Control: ‘synchronized’, atomic primitives, synchronized+concurrent collections o Exercise: Designing a thread-safe concurrent workflow
    o Non-blocking concurrency with CompletableFutures Intro: fork/join, exceptions, applications o Spring support: ThreadPoolTaskExecutor, non-blocking HTTP Endpoints, @Async o Exercise: parallelizing a non-blocking REST API
    o Parallel streams: mechanics, best practices, pitfalls
  • Tracing the Bottleneck:
    o Profiling execution with Glowroot, Java Flight Recorder / Java Mission Control, Micrometer o Exercise: Using a “flame graph” to detect bottlenecks in a sample app
    o Benchmarking with Gatling, jMeter, Java Measuring Harness
