In this video, we dive deep into the world of Java threads and how they impact the scalability of modern applications. Starting from CGI in the 90s, we explore how application servers have evolved to handle user requests, from the traditional process-per-request model to the more advanced thread-per-user model. We’ll discuss how threads work in Java, why blocking I/O impacts scalability, and introduce the benefits of modern approaches like non-blocking I/O.
If you’re curious about how Java applications manage millions of users and why threads are key to performance, this video is for you! Also, stay tuned for a look into future solutions like virtual threads with Project Loom.
