Scaling Java Applications using Virtual Threads

2025-02-18 17:30 @ Microsoft Reactor Redmond – 3709 157th Ave NE, Redmond
46 attending

Threads are lightweight, but do not scale well. That's one of the reasons we have been focused on the elastic capabilities on the cloud. Unfortunately that has an impact both on our environment and your company's budget. In this presentation we will learn how virtual threads reduce those impacts and help us to create scalable applications with minimum change to code.

About

The Seattle Java User’s group has been meeting since the mid-90s in the Seattle and Eastside area. It is geared towards topics related to the Java Virtual Machine and languages which run on it such as Java, etc. You can find us on meetup.com/seajug.

SeaJUG is an all volunteer effort – which means items such as the website and mailing list are updated as schedules afford. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. We need suggestions/volunteers for topics! If you’d like to donate your time/skills to the cause, please contact leadership@seajug.org

Leadership Team: Nimret Sandhu, Freddy Guime, Jonatan Ivanov
