CPU spikes are one of the most common performance challenges faced by Java applications. While traditional APM (Application Performance Management) tools provide high-level insights into overall CPU usage, they often fall short of identifying the root cause of the spike. APM tools usually can’t pinpoint the exact code paths causing the issue. This is where non-intrusive, thread-level analysis proves to be much more...

Understanding Distributed System Performance… From the Grocery Store
I visited a small local grocery store which happens to be in a touristy part of my neighborhood. If you’ve ever traveled abroad, then you’ve probably visited a store like that to stock up on bottled water without purchasing the overpriced hotel equivalent. This was one of these stores. To my misfortune, my visit happened to coincide with a group of tourists arriving all at once to buy beverages and warm up (it’s...
How to Protect Yourself From the Inevitable GenAI Crash
I had the dubious pleasure of living through the dot.com bubble, from the nascent early web in 1995 through the crash in 2000. It’s no wonder, therefore, that today’s generative AI (GenAI) bubble is giving me a serious case of déjà vu. Been there, done that, got the t-shirts to prove it. Now I’m older and wiser. So listen up, young ‘uns, and let me pass along some hard-won wisdom from the last millennium.
