For those in the Boston area, this is an opportunity to discuss Java infrastructure and connect with the local community.
For those interested in the subject matter, I’m going to talk about a few topics - I think all of these topics have been covered on amperecomputing.com over the past few years:
The importance of using a recent JVM/JDK - especially on Arm64
Choosing the right unit of compute for your Java applications (avoid single core or sub core compute allocations for containers & VMs)
GC and Heap choice - why ergonomics let you down in the cloud
The benefits of large kernel pages and THP for certain workloads
Container awareness and K8s scheduling - how they interact/get in each others’ way, how to harmonize them
I’m open to feedback on any topics I should cover more that are not in this list - I don’t want to over-load the talk, and I think this is a pretty good scope!
