Discussion from the May 2008 user group
Building a high volume, low latency system in Java
Although this happened a few months ago, we recorded the discussion that followed our London user group where Moudud Ahmed talked about building a high volume, low latency system in Java. Here are some of the topics that we talked about.
- Performance and scalability.
- Measuring latency.
- Domain-driven design.
- BEA's real-time Java platform.
- Writing applications with large heap sizes that can survive not doing garbage collection during the working day.
The audio levels are very low on the recording, but we think that the interesting discussion was worth rescuing and publishing. You can grab the discussion from here (mp3 format) ... just don't listen on a tube train! If you missed the user group, a streaming video of the presentation is also available.
