tantamountaon Show HN: Minum – A minimal Java web framework

Your run of Apache Bench only specifies -c20.

Please try this with Platform Threads - not virtual ones. It'd be very interesting to see the performance.

(This should just need a 1-line change of the Executor?)

Sorry, help me out. What "bunch" of wars did they "Preside" over? Boomers were born 1946-1964 (per Wikipedia).

tantamountaon Java 21: The Nice, the Meh, and the Momentous

Thanks for the video. I feel like there's a bit of conflation between the terms "performance(latency)" and "throughput", but I see the point. I'd be interested to see that latency graph (Time marker 15:38) between platform and virtual threads in the case where the server doesn't manufacture a 100ms delay (say, in the case of a caching reverse-proxy).

Also - millions of Java programmers thank you for not going to async/await. What an evil source-code virus (among other things that is).

I tried to watch it at 1.25x speed as I normally do, but you already talk at 1.25x speed, so no need !

With the API being nearly the same, I keep just thinking that Virtual Threads are basically identical to Platform Threads except that they use far less memory (so you can have lots more of them).

Are there any other actual differences? Better Peformance?
