Project Loom
Expert guide to Java's Project Loom. Learn virtual threads, structured concurrency, and scoped values to build highly scalable, efficient Java applications. Complete tutorials and best practices.
Structured Concurrency
Nine posts written through a fan-out service rollout. Cancellation, timeouts, and what to do when a subtask outlives the request.
Tail Latency & System Behavior
Runnable Java experiments on the failure patterns that show up under real load: tail latency, queueing, hedged requests, coordinated omission, backpressure, and SLO engineering. Deterministic outputs, checked-in CSVs, reproducible on any machine.
Backpressure & Load Control
Runnable Java models of congestion collapse, admission control, token and leaky buckets, load shedding, and SLO-driven load control. Deterministic outputs, checked-in CSVs, reproducible on any machine.
Agentic AI Stress Suite
Nine reproducible experiments on where production RAG-to-agent stacks break: retrieval, evaluation, agents, LLM ops, security, scaling, and custom embeddings. One harness, one corpus, measured under happy path and chaos, negative results published.
