How difficult is it to migrate an existing application to use the new Java 9 module system?

A step by step guide to migrating your application from Java 8 to Java 9.

What should you really be looking for in a code review?

Many Java developers today are working on applications written before the release of Java SE 8. Even after Java 8 is adopted for new features, it’s likely that these legacy applications will not take full advantage of Java 8 without significant refactoring.

A series of tips on what to look for when doing code reviews, including aspects of testing, security, performance and more. The book is a compilation of blog posts on the same topic available on the Upsource blog.

Using the Disruptor to do the heavy lifting for concurrent programming.

Mike and I go into low-level detail about why LMAX's Disruptor is so fast.

The Disruptor is the result of our efforts to build the world’s highest performance financial exchange at LMAX. Early designs focused on architectures derived from SEDA1 and Actors2 using pipelines for throughput. After profiling various implementations it became evident that the queuing of events between stages in the pipeline was dominating the costs. We found that queues also introduced latency and high levels of jitter. We expended significant effort on developing new queue implementations… Show more

The Disruptor is the result of our efforts to build the world’s highest performance financial exchange at LMAX. Early designs focused on architectures derived from SEDA1 and Actors2 using pipelines for throughput. After profiling various implementations it became evident that the queuing of events between stages in the pipeline was dominating the costs. We found that queues also introduced latency and high levels of jitter. We expended significant effort on developing new queue implementations with better performance. However it became evident that queues as a fundamental data structure are limited due to the conflation of design concerns for the producers, consumers, and their data storage. The Disruptor is the result of our work to build a concurrent structure that cleanly separates these concerns. Show less
