This is part 4 of the JCON interviews!

In this episode, we have 5 new guests for you.

  • We start with garbage collectors and Intelligence Cloud, a tool created by Azul to find out which of your code is actually used in production and which dependencies are known to have vulnerabilities. My colleague Gerrit Grunwald was at JCON to give a talk about these subjects. 
  • With Balkrishna Rawool we dove into Virtual Threads, a very interesting topic as concurrency and threads can be challenging... 
  • Piotr Przybyl came to JCON to give a talk about Test Containers and how to test your application in an environment that is similar to your production environment. Another important topic related to testing is Flaky Tests. How do you handle tests that only fail from time to time and make your whole test report unreliable?
  • François Martin had a talk about this subject, and he came to the conference together with Annelore Egger, who was one of the many volunteers.
