Modern Java apps on K8s often underperform—but tuning matters. 🚀
At #Devnexus, @stef3a from @AkamasLabs shows how AI-driven optimization can unlock 20–50% better JVM performance & efficiency beyond default settings.

@richardstartin So the Datadog agent leverages JFR for data collection? Cool! How does it do that - continous recording on a file, or streaming? It doesn't need to restart the JVM I guess
Hey JVM folks, I'm using JFR to study JVM startup performance. Super convenient, everything in one place. However, CPU usage is rounded to 1s granularity, which is too coarse. Same with jfr print. Any way I can sub-second data?
@richardstartin Hi Richard, thx! Good point about overhead, I'll make sure to check with and without. I don't need profiling or thread-level data, I'm using the ContainerCPUUsage event as total CPU usage is enough for my use case, but I need it at finer granularity

🎯 What does AI-powered #optimization actually look like?
With Akamas, you define the goal — performance, cost, or SLOs — and our AI tunes your entire stack: pods, #JVM, #Kubernetes configs, and more.
Watch how it works with @StefanoDoni & @loadtester 👉 https://t.co/Qrw20yTitS
Next week, @stef3a and I will be talking about Java on Kubernetes, Performance Challenges and Solutions.
We would love to hear from you with this survey:

I like making GPUs go brrt at @modal.
I wrote up what I've learned along the way in an extension to the GPU Glossary -- our "CUDA Docs for Humans".

Wrong node sizes in #Kubernetes will either squeeze your pods or waste 💰
Autoscaling needs tuning to avoid “stranded capacity.”
🛠️ Choose the right instance types, monitor workloads, and cut costs.

In the past, people without JVM knowledge tuned JVMs based on random data from the Internet.
Nowadays, people without JVM knowledge and no understanding of LLMs tune JVMs based on recommendations from LLMs which were trained on the same random data.
Is this progress?
