From YouTube: Jakarta Tech Talk - Use of virtual threads in Helidon

Description

With introduction of Virtual threads in Java 19 (as a preview feature), we could start looking into creating a framework to write services that are blocking, and at the same time provide great performance even under heavy parallel load.

Where we had to use reactive programming to achieve the same goal, we can now write simpler, more maintainable code and achieve the same results. With Helidon NĂ­ma (Web Server designed for Virtual threads), and other Helidon libraries, we now have a framework to build

blocking and performant services (now in Alpha, until Virtual threads are release in Java as a non-preview feature).

You will learn how we benefit from virtual threads when writing (Micro)services, and whether our performance assumptions were correct.
