Why are so many #AI backends harder to debug than to build? Reactive pipelines solved scalability — but often created systems nobody enjoys maintaining. Damiana Nascimento shows where #VirtualThreads simplify #RAG & #LLM services.

Oracle Java 25 certification is evolving toward modern enterprise Java development.

If you already prepared for Java 21 certification, you are already strongly aligned with Java 25.

I published a detailed breakdown with code examples explaining the new Java 25 additions and expected exam focus areas:

In a zero-copy runtime designed for 1-VT-per-Stream density, ThreadLocal is a performance serial killer. Here is the forensic analysis and how JEP 506 Scoped Values changed everything. When I started designing the Exeris Kernel — a next-generation, zero-copy runtime built for Java 26+ — I established one non-negotiable architectural law: "No Waste Compute." In a…...

Scoped Values: Why I Banned ThreadLocal in Exeris

Why ThreadLocal kills performance under Project Loom and how the Exeris Kernel uses Scoped Values for true zero-copy architecture.

New benchmarke article from Popov R&D:

Virtual Threads vs Platform Threads in Spring Boot under a controlled I/O-bound workload.

The main question:
Do virtual threads provide a meaningful advantage over a well-tuned platform-thread setup?

Key focus:
- throughput
- goodput
- p99 latency
- memory usage
- JVM vs native mode

Virtual threads: performance analysis

This study evaluates the performance of virtual threads compared to traditional platform thread pools in Spring Boot application, focusing on throughput, latency, and resource usage under IO-bound workload.

Popov R&D Blog

With the arrival of Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency, and Scoped Values, the language is embracing a new era of simplicity and scalability.

“Can I block here?” With #Java26, the answer is increasingly yes. #VirtualThreads & #StructuredConcurrency reduce the need for callback-heavy code & oversized thread pools.

Damiana Nascimento explains what modern #JVM-first design looks like: https://javapro.io/2026/05/06/java-26-in-practice-how-the-jvm-is-changing-the-way-we-write-code/

@openjdk

How many threads in your #Java app are doing work you’ll throw away anyway? #Java 25’s #Structured Concurrency helps you cancel fast, fail fast, & keep subtasks scoped (no leaks).

Java in April 2026: Leyden Grows Up, Spring Gets Smarter, and the JVM Quietly Reinvents Itself for the AI Era

Java 26 has landed, Project Leyden is chipping away at the cold-start problem, and the JVM's AI tooling story finally feels grown-up. Here's what actually happened in the Java ecosystem during the first half of April 2026.
