High Performance Java
Abstract
Java has a great reputation for developer productivity and server side solutions. This has led to Java permeating areas normally exclusive to languages like C and C++. This has led to the identification of Java language and runtime architecture features that are challenges for such demanding environments that require low latency or real-time software solutions. In this session we will discuss these challenges as well as demonstrate sample solutions. Key aspects the solutions will focus on will be lightweight software stack, simplicity, and pluggability to enable single server or distributed solutions. We'll pose the question as to whether a high performance persistence API for Java is needed to supplement or even compliment JPA?
