Java Debugging and Async Profiler

We are kicking off our 2023 event lineup with Shai Almog, the author of "Practical Debugging at scale", showing many effective debugging methods you never heard of. We also have Doron Sekler, an SRE at eBay, speaking about Async Profiler, the best profiler the JVM currently has, which is also free.

Secrets of Debugging you Probably Don't Know
Universities need to teach debugging. We learn it on the job, and many developers treat it like taking out the garbage. We run to the door, trying to hold our breath. Glad to be rid of it... This session will discuss features you probably need to learn about, e.g., Jump to-line, Marker Objects, Entry Renderers, and so much more.
