This year’s data streaming event from Confluent that had it all – including showcasing how a Java runtime can reduce latency and increase throughput.
Attendees discovered a better Java runtime that helps carry more load capacity across nodes within a Kafka cluster – one of the biggest takeaways from Azul’s session. Booting Kafka Performance in a Day.
In fact, some visitors were surprised to learn that switching from OpenJDK to a modern Java Virtual Machine (JVM) improves performance – with minimal engineering effort and no re-architecture!
Jiří Holuša, senior product manager for Azul’s Platform Prime, left some specific takeaways:
The choice of JVM can drastically affect Kafka‘s performance
- By improving Kafka performance, you can address the pain points – speed, response times, and cost
- Azul Platform Prime is the fastest JVM out there
- It‘s not just for Kafka – it works any for Java application!
- These are not optimizations you can do manually as a developer
