::Scaling Simply with Virtual Threads (Project Loom)::

Nicolai Parlog

When every request coming into a system runs in its own thread but keeps blocking it for outgoing requests to the file system, databases, or other services, the number of threads the system supports quickly becomes the limiting factor for scaling up throughput. Reactive programming solves this problem by only occupying platform threads when they are actually needed, thus offering better scalability, but comes at a cost: developing, maintaining, debugging, observing, and benchmarking code becomes more challenging.

Virtual threads combine the simplicity of blocking code with the resource efficiency and scalability of reactive programming and in this talk you're going to learn how they do that and how you can use them in your project.

::Modern SQL: While you’ve looked elsewhere::

Markus Winand

While many hypes have come and gone, SQL has undergone a slow, silent but steady evolution. This year’s revision of the SQL standard even introduced graph query capabilities — but this will need some time to get broad adoption.

In this session we will focus on some modern SQL features that are readily available in a SQL database near to you. We will see real-world examples that make developer’s life easier and the applications go faster. Naturally we will also revisit some stubborn misconceptions about SQL that ultimately proof that today’s SQL is not your grandpa’s SQL anymore.
