The Next Frontier in Open Source Java Compilers: Just-In-Time Compilation as a Service
For Java developers, the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is key to improved performance. However, in a container world, the performance gains are often negated due to CPU and memory consumption constraints. To help solve this issue, the Eclipse OpenJ9 JVM provides JITServer technology, which separates the JIT compiler from the application.

Main presentation:

Cloud Cost Optimization for Java Developers
Cloud usage has been soaring over the last few years, and now developers are starting to get pressure to reduce cloud spend. In this session, we’ll discuss how to optimize your cloud utilization, and hence how much your team spends, on cloud infrastructure.
We’ll discuss these topics with a specific focus on Java applications:
Architecture of your application
PaaS, CaaS, Cloud Functions or Kube?
JVM ramp-up & optimization time
Headroom for variable load
Over provision or elastic compute?
