Time: 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm CET

Session agenda

When it comes to finding performance bottlenecks, a profiler is your best friend. But there are so many profilers out there, and even the most popular tools can sometimes be misleading. What’s more, performance problems are sometimes hidden deep inside the JVM or even in the OS kernel.

In this session, Andrei Pangin presents async-profiler, a modern open-source tool that enhances the Java profiling experience by utilizing JVM internal structures, OS capabilities, and hardware performance counters. Thanks to the integration of the tool with IntelliJ IDEA, it’s no longer necessary to be a performance expert to use advanced profiling techniques. Andrei will show you how async-profiler discovers subtle performance issues, native memory leaks, I/O problems, and other noteworthy pitfalls in Java applications.
