Virtual Threads in Java

Learn and understand how the Java threading model is revolutionized by Project Loom. Ron Veen and David Vlijmincx will provide a clear and simple understanding of virtual threads and why they are superior to the threads that Java developers have used in the last 25 years, outlining problems facing current thread models.
Next, you’ll uncover how virtual threads work behind the scenes, blocked, mounting, and unmounting is in the context of virtual threads. Then, you’ll explore the different ways of creating virtual threads, such as the constructor, builder method and new executor services. Finally, you’ll learn the pitfalls of virtual threads and when to watch out for limited scalability and how to detect it.
After viewing this video, you’ll understand the fundamentals of virtual threads and when to apply this knowledge to code immediately.
What You Will Learn:
• Learn what virtual threads are and how they work behind the scenes
• Understand the problems virtual threads solve
• Discover the pitfalls of virtual threads and when they won’t work
