OpenJDK Projects That We Anticipate

OpenJDK is actively evolving, with projects like Leyden, Valhalla, Babylon, and Lilliput aiming to enhance Java's performance and capabilities. Leyden focuses on faster startup and warmup by reusing precompiled code, while Valhalla introduces value objects, primitive classes, and specialized generics for better memory and runtime efficiency.

Reducing Java Startup Time: 4 Approaches

Java application startup can be significantly accelerated using modern tools. AppCDS stores preloaded classes in a shared archive, cutting startup time by up to 50%, while Project Leyden shifts optimizations to earlier stages with ahead-of-time compilation. GraalVM Native Image creates standalone executables for sub-second startup, and CRaC restores pre-warmed application states for instant readiness.

Boost The Performance and Security of Your Spring Boot App with Alpaquita Containers

Alpaquita Containers offer a secure, high-performance solution for running Spring Boot applications in the cloud. These lightweight containers, built on Liberica JDK Lite and Alpaquita Linux, optimize memory and disk usage, reducing resource consumption by up to 30%.

An Overview of Java Garbage Collectors

Java provides multiple garbage collectors (GCs) tailored to different performance needs. Serial GC is ideal for single-threaded apps but pauses all threads, while Parallel GC uses multiple threads to prioritize throughput.

5 Tips for Optimizing Java Performance on Kubernetes

If your Java apps in the cloud struggle with high resource consumption, frequent container restarts, or slow response times, these five tips can help enhance their performance. First, set CPU and RAM limits properly based on load testing and account for Kubernetes overhead.

Why Test Performance When Scaling K8s

Running the HotSpot JVM in containers requires careful tuning of resource limits, garbage collection, and JVM options to maximize performance and avoid issues like container restarts or poor scaling.

5 Opinions on Distroless Images for Java Apps in 4 Minutes

Distroless images, while smaller and aligned with modern immutable container practices, are not entirely "distroless" as they include a stripped-down Linux distribution, making them suitable for some, but not all, applications.
