Java Optimizations That Matter (and Some That Don't)

Douglas Hawkins

LEAD DEVELOPER JAVA PERFORMANCE MONITORING AT DATADOG

01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Early releases of Java performed poorly, but those issues largely disappeared long ago with the introduction of HotSpot. However, much of the performance advice for Java persists through hearsay from those early days.

In this talk, we'll forget the hearsay and take an objective look using benchmarking and profiling tools to find out which optimizations matter today and just as importantly those that don't.
