Garbage collections are like the engine of a car, we know it works, we know that it powers the car, but not much else, but once it breaks down, we usually don’t have a too much of a clue on how to fix it. In this episode we talk about how garbage collections happen, the things it looks for, and more importantly, how it changes your code (there are certain things that you can do to make your code garbage collector friendly). Having this knowledge will help you in the long road on troubleshooting any garbage collection issues (including tuning!), so take a listen to the garbage man!

There is a new band in town! Lambda Expression. Listen to me, and my one-man band in facebook (www.facebook.com/lambdaexpression). And LIKE! (doesn’t cost anything!)

So you’re programming along when suddenly support calls and says that the application just “disappeared”, or, the server process is not there anymore, both of them leaving you with a hprof.pid file. You have just witnessed the murder of a Java Virtual Machine, and now is your turn to figure out what happen, and what can we do to prevent such senseless crashes. We cover the main reasons for crashes (most likely not your fault), and best of all, ways around it! So put on your detective hat and let’s solve the mysteries surrounding JVM Crashes once and for all!
