@lemire @shipilev If you are using an IDE like IntelliJ or Visual Studio, you can add the maven archetype to it. There is a JMH plugin in IntelliJ which simplified this whole ceremony into a one button click. I agree with you that things can get quite complex when setting it up from the CLI.

@forked_franz @TanelPoder @BachorikJ @CarlosODonell @nitsanw @tivrfoa Sharing a plot for one such application which saw a 42% reduction in native memory usage after setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX to a lower value (16). Most Java applications don't do a lot of explicit native memory allocations and such low values work very well in practice.

@forked_franz @TanelPoder @BachorikJ @CarlosODonell @nitsanw @tivrfoa Ran into an interesting native memory leak issue with a Java application due to the defaults for glibc (ncores * 8) not getting applied correctly on Ubuntu Focal within cgroups. This led to fragmentation issues. Setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX to a lower value fixed it.

🛫 Homeward bound after five most fantastic days in Bengaluru 🇮🇳. Had such an amazing time between Kafka Summit with #Debezium talk and bustling #Decodable booth, getting to meet many old and new friends from the community, two meet-ups, and so much more. Can't wait to be back!

Really loved this slide in @gunnarmorling's presentation today at the OSDI meetup in Bangalore. #aiven_io #decodable #osdi
This summarises the value of implementing proper retention policies and tiering on data lakes.

@fleming_matt Add this - "No pressure mate, it's just that this <insert super important feature> should have been shipped by yesterday"

Really enjoyed the talk on "Data imbalance across Kafka partitions" by @OlenaKutsenko today at the OSDI meet up in Bangalore. It presented a great summary of real issues you might run into in production and strategies for reducing tail latencies in such cases. #aiven #osdi

[Gunnar Morling 🌍 @gunnarmorling]

🤓 Learning everything about Kafka partitioning from the fabulous @OlenaKutsenko at #KafkaSummit Bengaluru. Great topic on a great stage!

[Olena Kutsenko @OlenaKutsenko]

I was just a bit late to the talk of @gunnarmorling and there was no empty spot in the room! #kafkaSummit #Bengalore

I have worked from home for 30 years. I use my work office mostly to meet with students. I think that I am a productive person.

I may be atypical.
