Through the looking glass: Effective observability for cloud native applications
Our cloud-native environments are more complex than ever before! So how can we ensure that the applications we’re deploying to them are behaving as we intended them to? This is where effective observability is crucial.
Learn more
It enables us to monitor our applications in real-time and analyse and diagnose their behaviour in the cloud. However, until recently, we were lacking the standardization to ensure our observability solutions were applicable across different platforms and technologies. In this session, we’ll delve into what effective observability really means, exploring open source technologies and specifications, like OpenTelemetry, that can help us to achieve this while ensuring our applications remain flexible and portable.

Trash Talk - Exploring the JVM Memory Management
In the realm of Java programming, understanding memory management and garbage collection mechanisms cannot only be helpful for optimizing performance and resource utilization but also in general will help you to use the right garbage collector for your application.
Learn more
This session will be about memory allocation, object lifecycle, and garbage collection strategies within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Attendees will gain insights into memory allocation strategies, object retention policies, and various garbage collection algorithms like generational and concurrent collection. So when you are interested in getting more knowledge about which garbage collector to use best for your application or about memory management in the JVM, this session is for you.

The Keys to Developer Productivity: Collaborate and Innovate
Learn more
The Java language evolutions and pivots are possible due to collaboration and innovation in the Java community ecosystem. And as a result, the Java innovation pipeline is stronger than it has ever been, and the collaboration is higher than ever before. A new release of Java, Java SE 21, came out in September, and so much was delivered in this new release, with over 15 Java Enhancement Proposals (JEP) via OpenJDK and the Java Community Process (JCP). Virtual threads, string templates, record patterns, pattern matching for switch, generations ZGC, structured concurrency, and more are included in Java 21. Work is already well underway for Java 22, to be released in March 2024, and there are many contributors working on projects in OpenJDK to deliver more innovation from projects such as Panama, Valhalla, Loom, Amber, ZGC, Leyden, and more. Learn how you can adopt the latest technology, innovate and contribute to the future evolution of the Java platform and ecosystem in this session.

Faster, greener, and happier- why Quarkus should be your next tech stack
Learn more
In this talk, Holly will introduce Quarkus and then delve into some of the advanced features you might not know about. She’ll cover native binaries, what makes Quarkus super-fast running on the JVM, TDD with Quarkus, and Quarkus’s carbon footprint. The talk includes some theory (what underpins Quarkus’s surprising speed?) and also live demos (does Quarkus really start faster than a light bulb? What does an integration testing flow with Quarkus look like?)
