How to Boost JVM Scalability and Performance With Kotlin and Azul Runtime

Modern JVM backends combine language features and runtime optimizations to unlock new levels of performance. Kotlin’s expressive features, like coroutines and inline classes, simplify scalable code, while advanced JVM technologies, such as Azul’s optimized JIT compiler and garbage collector, help maximize runtime efficiency.

Through collaboration between JetBrains and Azul, we’ve already achieved up to 30.5% better throughput and 23.9% lower latency – with more improvements ahead.

In this livestream for developers and DevOps engineers, we’ll explore:

• How Azul Zing enhances JVM performance (JIT, GC, memory)
• How Zing provides better runtime metrics for server-side and web Kotlin applications
• Kotlin language capabilities, including coroutines and inline classes/functions
• The TechEmpower Web Framework Benchmark and other performance results
• Future areas of collaboration between the Kotlin team at JetBrains and Azul
