Accelerating Time to Steady State with OpenJDK HotSpot VM
Introduction
Start-up and warm-up/ramp-up performance optimization is a key factor in Java application performance, particularly for transient applications and microservices. The objective is to minimize the JVM’s start-up and warm-up time, thereby accelerating the execution of the application’s main method. Inefficient start-up or warm-up performance can lead to prolonged response times and increased resource consumption, which can negatively impact the user’s interaction with the application. Therefore, it’s crucial to focus on this aspect of Java application performance.
While the terms warm-up and ramp-up are often used interchangeably, by understanding their nuances, we ...
