In May, we hosted a deep-dive session that took a closer look at a lesser-known—but highly impactful—category of memory issues in Java: not-so-common memory leaks. While most developers are familiar with the usual suspects, this session focused on the more elusive leak patterns that often fly under the radar but still cause serious damage over time.
From thread locals and inner class references to uncached collections and framework-related leaks, our expert unpacked how these subtle issues can quietly consume memory and lead to performance degradation—often without any immediate symptoms.
Using real-world examples and hands-on demonstrations, we explored how to identify these hard-to-catch leaks using heap dumps, advanced profilers, and JVM internals. More importantly, we walked through actionable strategies you can implement to fix and even prevent these leaks in your own applications.
If your Java apps have ever suffered from memory instability without clear cause, this session offered the answers you’ve been searching for.
Key Takeaways from the Webinar:
- Discovered rare and hard-to-detect memory leak sources that evade traditional tools.
- Gained a deeper understanding of how thread locals, inner classes, and certain frameworks unintentionally retain memory.
- Learned advanced heap analysis and profiling techniques.
- Explored real production scenarios where hidden memory leaks led to performance breakdowns—and how they were resolved.
- Picked up best practices for writing leak-resistant, production-grade Java code.
