Developers, Start Your nginx!
summary
The talk demonstrates using Java’s Foreign Function & Memory API (FFM, introduced in Java 22) to drive the nginx web server from Java code. It covers inspecting nginx internal structures from Java, calling C functions safely, manipulating memory segments, and experimenting with running Java handlers inside nginx—suggesting nginx as a native high-performance gateway or hybrid runtime (TLS, HTTP/3) for Spring Boot workloads.
