In this post, we are going to discuss a non-intrusive approach (i.e., approach that doesn’t add any noticeable overhead to the application) to diagnose CPU spike. Thus, you can use this approach in your production environment to troubleshoot CPU spikes. Works on all JVM languages: This approach can be used to troubleshoot CPU spikes in... Continue Reading →
Java virtual thread is a new feature available from JDK 19. It has potential to improve the application’s availability, throughput and code quality on top of reducing memory consumption. If you are interested in learning more about Java virtual thread, here is a quick introduction to it. Video: To see the visual walk-through of this... Continue Reading →

Several of us might be familiar with the clear () API in Java collections framework. In this post, let's discuss what is the purpose of this clear() API? What is the performance impact of using this API? What happens under the JVM when this API is invoked? Video: To see the visual walk-through of this post,... Continue Reading →

It is an honor to have our work published in a print magazine, that too in German language. Here is the translated German version of the article: ‘Simulation und... Continue Reading →
When a method is synchronized, only one thread can enter that object's method at a given point in time. If any other thread tries to enter the synchronized method, it will NOT be allowed to enter. It will be put in the BLOCKED state. In this post, let’s learn a little more details about synchronized... Continue Reading →
In our earlier post, we learnt that when a method is synchronized only one thread will be allowed to enter the method. In this post, let's do a little bit of deep dive - What would happen if an object has two synchronized methods? When a thread is executing the first synchronized method, will another...
