Session + Live Q&A
Unblocked By Design
Asynchronous designs present an opportunity for greater system performance, but require a different mindset to take full advantage of. Applying normal synchronous approaches to asynchronous designs often lead to less efficient implementations, added complexity, and can negate the advantages a non-blocking system can leverage. In this session, we will discuss some of the issues one can encounter when developing with and for asynchronous architectures and components.

Comparison of Performance of Multiple CPU Architectures
Monday Nov 8 / 11:10AM EST
With an increase in the choices of CPU architectures available both on-premise and in the public cloud, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the differences in performance between these options. We will compare performance examples of 4 different CPU vendors while also...

The Mechanics of Metrics: Aggregation across Dimensions
Monday Nov 8 / 01:10PM EST
The most efficient way to observe application behavior relies on metrics, key/value pairs of numerical data. Capturing and processing metrics can help you identify and respond to potential issues before they escalate and cause more serious problems. But what should you measure? What do those...

JIT vs. AOT: How to Pick the Right Approach
Monday Nov 8 / 02:10PM EST
The popularity of Java introduced the benefits of Just-In-Time (JIT) dynamic compilation to many developers. Recently, Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation techniques have also been available for Java. When should a developer use a JIT or AOT? The panelists will discuss the trade-offs between the two...
