Making JVM Fleet Restarts Easier for Java Performance & Scale Using Cloud-Native Compilation

In this session we will break down how one of Azul’s largest e-commerce retailers improved shopper experience during check-out.  You will learn how to simplify cloud-native JVM fleet restarts and streamline DevOps workflows.  We will look at how to dramatically improve application warm-up by using cloud-native optimizations that reduce the number of instances needed for Java workloads.
You will learn:
  • A before and after view of a JVM lifecycle where smart compilations are automatically applied and available to the JVM before traffic hits.
  • Practical ways to accelerate JVM initialization code and boost cloud efficiency using a performance-optimized Java runtime.
  • How to optimize JVM behavior so it can take traffic earlier in the start-up and warm-up cycles.
