Improved Java Performance Sans Code Changes with Simon Ritter

Mar 13, 2023 by SED

What are the reasons why we need to improve performance? The JVM is a powerful piece of software – this is the reason why Java has maintained its popularity over the past 26+ years. But… there are some ways that the JVM works that can impact the performance of your applications.

One of the biggest challenges is latency – how quickly can we respond to a request from a user to access your application. That comes down to garbage collection – which leads to pauses and a bad customer experience. Garbage collection pauses can vary. But they impact application performance. The bigger the heap, the longer your pauses…but how do you optimize? What about warm-up time? That’s also a big challenge. We’ve addressed these problems without re-writing code from scratch – and that leads to better Java performance without any code changes.

This episode explores how you can use a performance JVM to make applications start fast, go fast, and stay fast.

This segment of Software Engineering Daily is brought to you by Privacy Dynamics, the simple solution for anonymizing data intelligently.
Development and testing environments are the number one source of costly data breaches. Privacy Dynamics creates a de-identified copy of your production data in minutes, allowing developers to maintain their velocity and improve testing without taking on unnecessary compliance and security risks.
Using a proprietary approach based on the latest research, Privacy Dynamics automatically detects and eliminates PII while maintaining the schema, format, scale, and analytical utility of the source data. With a simple integration into any data store, Privacy Dynamics anonymizes data in Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, Big Query, S3 and more.
Are you letting sensitive PII land in development and testing environments? Eliminate the #1 threat of a data breach and start using de-identified data in your development and testing environments by signing up for a free account today at http://privacydynamics.io/sedaily.
