Java Flight Recorder (JFR) enables low-overhead profiling to diagnose CPU spikes, which occur when threads excessively consume CPU resources, often due to infinite loops or inefficient code. This blog outlines causes, simulates the issue, captures JFR data, and analyzes it to identify performance bottlenecks, specifically within the CPUSpikerThread class.
This guide offers comprehensive strategies for developers and engineers to troubleshoot Java Virtual Machine (JVM) issues in production. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing various diagnostic artifacts, such as GC logs, thread dumps, and heap dumps, to identify root causes of performance problems swiftly, ensuring minimal downtime and effective incident management.
Jenkins, a popular CI/CD pipeline, is used for several critical operations in the organization, such as building applications, conducting automated tests, and deployments in pre-prod and prod environments.

The visit strengthened ties, making it a personal rather than formal encounter for Unni.
The yCrash Webinar Series, held over a year, featured 16 webinars with 1,500+ attendees, addressing Java performance issues such as memory leaks and garbage collection. Led by expert Ram Lakshmanan, the sessions fostered a community focused on real-world challenges, enhancing understanding and collaboration among developers, engineers, and architects.
The yCrash team organized an unforgettable retreat in Alleppey, Kerala, reflecting on successes while bonding through various activities. Despite initial plans for Darjeeling, they chose Alleppey after not meeting set milestones.
