      Senior Director, Product Management

    • Continuous Monitoring with JDK Flight Recorder

      The serviceability and observability of the Java platform is unparalleled. It provides numerous, different tools and APIs that provide insights into the application and the Java runtime itself. JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) is a monitoring and troubleshooting framework built directly into the Java runtime, designed to be always-on in production with negligible overhead. It has access to all the internal data of the JVM and can capture and surface events on a fine-grained level with extremely low overhead. This session will step through JFR and offer a demonstration of some of its powerful capabilities.

      Senior Director

    • Helidon: Microservices on Modern Java

      This session covers the practical aspects of using Project Loom’s Virtual Threads (from OpenJDK) with Helidon Níma. Created by Oracle and currently in the Alpha stage, Helidon Níma is the first service framework designed for Virtual Threads. This session will explain what Project Loom brings to service development, compare it to Oracle’s reactive implementation, and show performance improvements that can be achieved. You’ll also get a short introduction into Helidon MicroProfile and understand how it benefits from Oracle’s  switch to Virtual Threads.

  • 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM

    • Java Virtual Threads

      Concurrent applications, those serving multiple independent application actions simultaneously, are the bread and butter of Java server-side programming. The thread has been Java’s primary unit of concurrency since its inception and is core to the entire Java platform. However, it can no longer efficiently represent a domain unit of concurrency. As a result, Java has seen a proliferation of libraries and frameworks that offer scalability while abandoning the thread as the unit of software concurrency—and, with it, the support of Java’s observability tooling. In this session, learn how Project Loom aims to reinstate the thread as an efficient unit of concurrency by adding a lightweight implementation of threads to the Java platform.

      Sergey Kuksenko

      Principal Member of Technical Staff

    • Z Garbage Collector: The Next Generation

      The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC)—a scalable, low-latency garbage collector providing sub-millisecond max pause times—continues to evolve. This session will review the design goals behind ZGC and provide a look into the impact of the upcoming support for multiple generations. It will also present general guidance on selecting a garbage collector given certain use case characteristics.

      Paul Su

      Software Development Director

      Senior Director, Product Management

    • Hands-On Lab: Getting Started with Virtual Threads

      Project Loom introduces virtual threads—a new kind of lightweight threads—which are unarguably one of the most anticipated features coming to Java. Virtual threads are much lighter than platform threads. In fact, they’re so light that you don't need to pool them anymore. Loom also adds Structured Concurrency to Java—a new concurrent programming model based on a more traditional, easier, blocking approach. Bring your own laptop so you can use Project Loom’s Structured Concurrency API to handle multiple asynchronous tasks using a simple synchronous-blocking model. You’ll experience how Project Loom will revolutionize concurrent code development in Java, including debugging. This hands-on lab is only available to in-person attendees.

    • Managing Your Java Estate Just Got Easier with Java Management Service

      Operating an organization’s Java estate is complex. Typically, there will be multiple versions of Java, deployed across dozens of environments, supporting many applications. The complexity of managing the estate is the product of these multiplied together.

      Java Management Service from Oracle is a cloud service that can help address this complexity. Basic discovery services, available to everyone, provide critical insights into Java application behavior and compliance. Advanced features, available to Java SE Subscription customers and OCI customers, deliver centralized runtime management, performance, and cryptographic usage information. Users of Java Management Service can:
      - Track Java runtimes and applications
      - Update or upgrade old Java installations

    • Hands-On Lab: Inconsistent Data and Financial Losses Are a Thing of the Past: Making Distributed Transactions Easy with Oracle Transaction Manager for Microservices

      Do you worry about inconsistent data and financial losses? Oracle Transaction Manager for Microservices (MicroTx) can make distributed transactions easy. As organizations rush to adopt microservices architecture, they often run into problems associated with data consistency because each microservice typically has its own database or resource. MicroTx provides a transaction coordinator microservice to aid in maintaining consistency in the state of various databases participating in a transaction. In this lab, you’ll deploy and run two microservices-based apps built using Spring Boot and Helidon frameworks in a Kubernetes cluster. One of the apps uses the XA standard for strong consistency and the other uses Sagas or long-running actions (LRAs) for eventual consistency.  Learn how easy it is to enhance your existing applications with distributed transaction capabilities to ensure consistent data across microservices. Attendees must bring their own laptop to participate. This hands-on lab is only available to in-person attendees.

    • JSON Data Improvements in MySQL 8.0

      The JSON data type was introduced in MySQL 5.7 and was dramatically improved in version 8.0. Chief among these changes was the introduction of JSON_TABLE() which temporarily transforms JSON data into structured data for processing with SQL commands such as window functions. With it, you gain the ability to test JSON data for required fields, range checks, and data type checks to ensure that bad data does not make it into your database instance. These and other MySQL 8.0 JSON features will be covered in this session.
