Had an incredible time at Chicago Java Users Group (CJUG’s) “Architect’s Guide to Managing a Code Base” event at Grubhub 🚀! 💡 Pratik Patel from Azul delivered a fantastic talk, packed with valuable insights on code quality management and software architecture. Some key takeaways: 🔹 Should software architects code? – Yes! A strong grasp of coding principles is crucial for effective architecture. 🔹 A solid foundation – Keeping developers on the same page and reduces complexity 🔹 Code complexity & quality – Fewer bugs, improved reviews, and a balance between high- and low-level code review. 🔹 Analyzing code effectively – Leveraging @SonarQube Cloud and other tools for static and dynamic code analysis. 🔹 Azul JDK & Cloud Intelligence – Super-efficient JDK that compiles gigantic Spring Boot applications in record time, plus insightful analytics for performance optimization. Beyond the technical knowledge, I had the chance to meet Shashank Bharadwaj, Mary Grygleski, Arunava Majumdar —some amazing minds in the Java community! Great discussions on best practices, architecture, and tooling. Bonus: I won a free JetBrains license in the raffle! 🎉 📸 Sharing snapshots from the event, including Pratik’s presentation, the Azul JDK insights, the vibrant tech atmosphere at Grubhub, and, of course, some Java goodness! A huge shoutout to CJUG for organizing this fantastic event! #Java #SoftwareArchitecture #CICD #CodeQuality #CJUG #ChicagoTech #TechCommunity #JetBrains #Grubhub #AzulJDK #SonarQube

It was fantastic to be onsite yesterday at the #CIOMeet Event in Vancouver. The event was filled with incredible perspectives and insights from today's technology leaders, highlighting the ever-evolving role of the CIO. A special shoutout to Arash Madani for leading an engaging panel discussion alongside Sarah Shortreed, P.Eng, FCAE, ICD.D, Jeff Coolen & Shawn Ling on the key elements of building a 'championship organization' and sharing valuable lessons learned over time. Lastly, thank you to Sara Woodcock & Azul for inviting me to attend. #CIOMeet #TechnologyLeadership #Innovation #CIO

Yesterday, Pratik Patel from Azul did a great talk at the Chicago Java Users Group. Some topics just must be open-minded and open-ended, and this is definitely one of those. Thanks for the interesting discussion on how some things are done at Azul, Grubhub, and ELEKS. As always, thanks to Mary Grygleski and John B. for organizing this atmosphere! :) #CJUG #Java #Chicago

Part 1: The Opportunity Cost of DIY Java Support Managing Java support in-house? DIY Java support might seem like a cost-saving option, but it often leads to hidden risks and costly resource drains. Join part 1 of our three part webinar series on March 26th to learn about the true costs of managing Java support yourself.

Today I’ve made it to Toronto where they also had a watch event for the Azul Duke Turns 30 event with some members of the #Toronto #Java #User #Group (#JUG). Unfortunately I was a bit too late to join, so I just went for my session about Garbage Collection at the #JUG. And this session was definitely one of the best JUG sessions so far, great crowd, great organization by Theresa Mammarella and really good vibes…absolutely wonderful 🫶🏻👍🏻 Again most of the people use the default #garbage #collector that is choosen by the #JVM (#Java #Virtual #Machine). And I can’t say it often enough…this is not a bad thing because it means that the #OpenJDK team did a great job in developing the #G1 garbage collector (which is the current default collector since JDK9). Once we went through the different collector principles, followed by the collectors that are available in the #JVM, people start to realize that in some situations it might make sense to think about using a garbage collector that is different from the default because it might fit better to their requirements. And again most people don’t know about #Azul #Zing, which is our #high #performance #JVM that comes with it’s own garbage collector with the name #C4 (#Continuous #Concurrent #Compacting #Collector). It’s also unknown to most of the people that #Zing not only comes with #C4 but also with #Falcon, a compiler that was developed by #Azul and which is able to create faster code by using more aggressive optimizations. With this we still can keep up with the performance even when doing fully #concurrent garbage collection. #ZGC in #OpenJDK is pretty much the same as #C4 but OpenJDK doesn’t come with Falcon but has to live with the #C2 compiler which still is a good compiler but cannot compete with Falcon. Another interesting thing to mention is that by using a high-performance #JVM you can also save money when it comes to #cloud #cost. If you can achieve the same performance of your application by leveraging less #cpu, you simply save money…and that can be a lot :) Overall it was a great evening again in #Toronto, which was the last JUG on my little tour through the US and Canada. Tomorrow it’s time to fly back home…and I’m really looking forward to it :) Again BIG THANKS to Theresa Mammarella for the fantastic evening 😁
