Adapting Java for the Serverless world  (Vadym Kazulkin)

... Perspective of an AWS developer

Adapting Java for the Serverless world (from the perspective of the AWS developer) Beschreibung Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless Community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint. For both you have to pay to the cloud providers of your choice. That's why most developers tried to avoid using Java for such use cases. But the times change: Community and cloud providers improve things steadily for Java developers. In this talk we look at the features and possibilities AWS cloud provider offers for the Java developers and look the most popular Java frameworks, like Micronaut, Quarkus and Spring (Boot) and look how (AOT compiler and GraalVM native images play a huge role) they address Serverless challenges and enable Java for broad usage in the Serverless world.
