Foojay Podcast #52: JCON Report, Part 4 – Garbage Collectors, Intelligence Cloud, Test Containers and Flaky Tests, ToxiProxy, Structured Concurrency, Virtual Threads
Garbage collectors, virtual threads, and flaky tests sit at the heart of many Java teams’ daily headaches. At JCON we caught up with speakers who had fresh, hands-on takes on each of these topics. In this fourth part of our JCON series we talk with Gerrit Grunwald, Balkrishna Rawool, Piotr Przybyl, François Martin, and Annelore Egger for Foojay Podcast #52.
What we talked about
- Garbage collectors and Azul’s Intelligence Cloud for spotting vulnerabilities in production code
- Virtual threads and how structured concurrency changes the way we write concurrent Java
- Test Containers for production-like integration tests
- ToxiProxy for simulating broken networks and unreliable services
- Flaky tests, how to reproduce them, and how to keep them out of the suite
- The volunteer perspective on running and growing the Java community
