Memory Efficient Java

When developers and operations are asked, "What is the biggest performance bottleneck in Java you face today?," the answers range from database access to garbage collection. While memory footprint is slowly starting to be recognized as being an issue, it is still rare that the issue of memory efficiency is raised. This lies in direct contrast to our findings that nearly 60% of the applications we’ve looked at in a wide variety of industries suffer from being memory efficient. And the performance penalty for not seeing or addressing this performance bottleneck can be huge. In some cases teams have experienced 4x improvements in application throughput with relatively simple improvements to the memory efficiency of their applications. As for footprint, reducing it can result in real costs savings for both cloud and on-prem deployments.

This training session will give focus on techniques to help you identify if your application is part of the 60%, how you can diagnose the dominate contributors to the problem and some techniques that can be used to improve memory efficiency and reduce memory footprints. Additionally we will look at some techniques that you can employ today to help make sure your application doesn’t become a member of the 60% club.
