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

“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/
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).

#VirtualThreads aren’t just a #Java hype feature. This article shows them powering agent calls safely in production-style #Microservices—with fallback + observability.

Migrating #JDKs and hitting “why did this break?” moments? @speakjava highlights the releases that introduced the biggest shifts — Jigsaw/modules, preview features, #VirtualThreads.

#Java #Java26 #ProjectLeyden #SpringBoot #JakartaEE #VirtualThreads #SpringAI #Koog #JVM
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.
ThreadLocal breaks with #VirtualThreads. @chwoerz explains why — and how ScopedValue replaces it with safe, immutable, scope-bound context propagation. Migrating to #Java25?

100k blocking tasks. A few seconds. On a laptop. With #VirtualThreads in #Java25, that’s reality. Mihaela Gheorghe-Roman explains what changed since #JDK21 & why thread-per-request is back. Still running huge thread pools?
Rethink: https://javapro.io/2026/03/05/java-25-and-the-new-age-of-performance-virtual-threads-and-beyond/
Do you really know how threads work in Java? And how about Virtual Threads, the game-changing feature introduced in Java 21?
