LJC Lightning Talk: Eclipse OpenJ9: Memory Diet for Your JVM Applications
Talk
In the spring of 2020, the London Java Community (LJC) started hosting online lightning talks every other Friday. I was honored to give my first lightning talk there on May 1, 2020.
I discussed Eclipse OpenJ9, an alternate JVM. It uses less memory, especially in containers. Therefore OpenJ9 lowers the cost of running your Java applications.

Slides
The slides are available as PDF on Github.
Source Code & Getting Started
I used two different applications to benchmark OpenJ9 against HotSpot. All the sources and more result details are in a Github repository. That repository also shows you how can start using OpenJ9 in your own projects, too!
