Writing performant code is not easy. Luckily, there are some very common ways for writing non-performant code that there are some things that if you simply avoid, you can get a good head-start. Then you would need to gain knowledge and understanding of the existing state, and ways to measure if improvements you make are actually effective and contributing to your goal. Drawing from experience in building high-efficient, high performance systems on the largest scale possible, we will explore hands-on methods (not vendor specific) to measure and improve on performance and effectiveness of Java systems. We will cover profiling, efficiency metrics, garbage minimization, non-blocking IO, non blocking data structures and synchronization blocks, and more. Bring a laptop!
