Profiling is a key technique in observing and understanding application performance. This ability allows us to determine where in our systems bottlenecks lie, and gives us the information required to target those bottlenecks. Armed with this knowledge and the use of appropriate design patterns, we can fully utilise the power of modern computing hardware, making our applications faster. Aiming for good application performance has many benefits: better user experience, superior scalability, and improved efficiency, which can be particularly useful in today’s cloud deployments.This course is designed for application develops and performance engineers, who are already well-versed in the use of standard application profilers. The material will build on this knowledge, exploring in more depth different approaches to profiling, and covering more advanced techniques. Other topics include measuring and reporting system latency, and profiling in production.Agenda:Profilers – the good, the bad, the ugly?A look at the profiler landscape comparing the pros and cons of each type.Sampling vs recordingTrade-offs that need to be considered when choosing a profilng method.Sampling biasHow to avoid common pitfalls in measurements.Flamegraphs and other visualisationsAllocation profilingLunch breakCustom tracepointsHow to instrument programs to capture events.Profiling in productionTechniques for “always-on” profilng.OS/Kernel/Hardware profilingLooking for performance issues lower down the stack.Key takeaways:JVM internalsSystem profiling toolsBenchmarking methodsPerformance monitoring and metrics collectionHigh-performance programming techniquesRefreshments and lunch will be provided to attendees.
