Java/JVM Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Workshop

You spend a lot of time planning, developing, and deploying your mission-critical applications using Agile and DevSecOps. But how much time do you spend making sure your application is available for users, providing adequate performance, using resources efficiently, and notifying the appropriate support team if there is an incident using Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)? Probably not enough until something goes bump in the night. If it does, does your support team know how to gather the necessary data to triage the incident with the development team before they resolve the problem and return to bed?

In this workshop, you will learn how one of the greatest strengths of the JVM is its operational tools and capabilities. You will learn to use JMX, Flight Recorder, jcmd, Mission Control and JXRay to capture and analyze JVM and application intelligence. You will learn how to use OpenTelemetry to capture distributed tracing and metrics. Most importantly, you will leave with a list of data to capture during an incident so you can arrive at the root cause with confidence in a shorter amount of time.
