Are you a Java developer wondering what it means to have your application running in the cloud. This session will provide a peek into how the JVM is adapting to running in the cloud and what Java developers need to be aware to ensure they get the most of running in the cloud.
The session will pick an example spring application and tune it stage by stage at the end of which we have an application that is fully optimized and takes advantage of every aspect of the running in a cloud.
It includes the following stages
- Tuning your Java app build process to generate the smallest possible docker image
- Tuning your Docker image for fast startup
- Tuning your Docker image for throughput vs resource usage
- Tuning your Docker image for when the App is idle
- Tips for debugging Java applications in a kuberenetes cloud
This will include github based on demos wherever appropriate. If you are a Java developer or an IT admin looking to deploy Java apps to the cloud, do not miss this session !

Objective of the presentation:
More and more companies are adopting some form of cloud for hosting their applications. Cloud also increasingly means Docker containers and Kubernetes to orchestrate them. Cloud is a different beast when it comes to running Java applications. It focuses on fast provisioning, ephemeral containers that startup and scale quickly and use minimum resources when idle.
Correspondingly the JVM has undergone a number of changes that help it to adapt to cloud environments. This talk looks closely at each of the cloud specific aspects and explores the changes in Java that a developer needs to be aware of to make the most of running a Java app in the cloud. We will be looking at github based on demos wherever appropriate.
