GC

A deep dive into diagnosing and resolving a production JVM issue where applications would freeze during hourly log synchronization tasks. We explore safepoint analysis, JVM log output blocking, asynchronous logging implementation, and WebFlux optimization to achieve a complete solution.

An in-depth investigation into mysterious JVM safepoint delays after upgrading to Java 17 and implementing centralized log collection with AWS EFS. We discovered how file I/O blocking during log output can freeze entire JVM processes and solved it using async logging and proper WebFlux implementation.

An investigation into excessive memory allocation and YoungGC frequency after upgrading to Spring Boot 2.4.6 + Spring Cloud 2020.0.x, revealing how BeanUtils.copyProperties creates massive ResolvableType objects without caching in Spring 5.3.x versions.

A deep dive into JVM’s Thread Local Allocation Buffer (TLAB) mechanism, covering design principles, implementation details, performance optimization, and source code analysis. Learn how TLAB improves memory allocation efficiency in multi-threaded environments and master TLAB tuning techniques.
