Using atomic counters in the Enhanced DynamoDB AWS SDK for Java 2.x client
Java – AWS Developer Blog
by Anna-Karin Salander

We are pleased to announce that users of the enhanced client for Amazon DynamoDB in AWS SDK for Java 2.x can now enable atomic counters, as well as add custom DynamoDB update expressions through the enhanced client extension framework. Customers have told us that they want improved performance and consistency when updating table records. The record update workflow in the DynamoDB enhanced client often means reading a record from the database to access current values before writing it back. This overhead can be painful if the records are large, and it can incur additional costs. Furthermore, th ..read more

Asynchronous Logging in Corretto 17
Java – AWS Developer Blog
by Xin Liu
2y ago
While working with an AWS service team to diagnose unexpected Garbage Collection (GC) pauses, the Amazon Corretto team discovered that applications were being throttled by I/O blocking while writing logs to disk. As a result, we decided to implement and contribute async-logging(JDK-8229517)) to OpenJDK 17. In this post, we’re going to explain how you can use the -Xlog:sync switch and the Unified Logging (UL) framework to avoid extended GC pauses due to I/O. Subsequent to our changes, the service improved their outlier p99.99 GC pause latency from 3s to 1s. UL is a logging framework for th ..read more

Announcing preview release for the generational mode to the Shenandoah GC
Java – AWS Developer Blog
by Mike Cook
2y ago
The Amazon Corretto team is excited to announce the preview release for the generational mode to the Shenandoah GC. This is a result of our collaboration with Red Hat on a significant GC contribution: the addition of a generational mode to traditional single generation Shenandoah. One of the primary advantages of Java is that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) automatically handles memory management. Many innovations have resulted from efforts to ensure that application throughput and response time are minimally impacted by the JVM. Recent memory managers such as the Shenandoah and ZGC garbag ..read more
