Just released async-profiler 4.1 is compatible with JDK 25, adds OpenTelemetry Profiles Data format, improves Native Memory profiling and includes numerous other enhancements: github.com/async-profiler…
Yes @chvest really did a great job with the new allocator improvements! 🥳
We are happy to announce the release of #netty 4.1.123.Final. This is a bug-fix release but also contains various performance enhancements in the AdaptiveByteBufAllocator. For all the details please read our announcement:netty.io/news/2025/07/1…
Linus used to speak to engineers in 2012 the way I speak to LLMs now.
Some thoughts on the S3 Vectors preview launch this week. This one has been really fun to build, and it's exciting to be able to finally share it! linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
Just reworked the patch of @dreamli60679407 to add support for IORING_OP_SEND_ZC and IORING_OP_SENDMSG_ZC to #netty and so support zero copy sending of data when using #io_uring and it's supported. github.com/netty/netty/pu… #oss FTW

We are happy to announce the release of netty 4.2.3.Final. This release provides big improvements to the allocator, the #iouring transport and adds JFR support. Please ensure to read the release announcement: netty.io/news/2025/07/1…
First #iouring #linux kernel patch submitted for review … super excited about this one and will hopefully not be the last one . Thanks to @axboe for the guidance! lore.kernel.org/io-uring/20250… #oss

We can't wait to see you at gRPConf 2025 on August 26th! Schedule: events.linuxfoundation.org/grpconf/progra… Register: events.linuxfoundation.org/grpconf/regist…
github.com/dreamlike-ocea… This is my implementation of asynchronous file I/O using netty io_uring transport. Imagine that we can use it to achieve truly asynchronous file chunk transfer, perform asynchronous O_DIRECT file operations, or even just assist with appending logs in mq

Anyone has bought the UniFi UNAS pro and can share some review ? I am currently running a 4 bay truenas on an old hp micro server (only using as storage really) and wondering if I should jump over
Some time ago I've said: "Hotspot knows math!" - but since it's a JIT there're limits -> see github.com/netty/netty/pu…
This has been a tremendous collaboration between folks at @oraclelabs , the #Netty team, Red Hat, and folks on the @java team. Combine the maturity of the Netty networking stack with the programming model advantages offered by Virtual Threads in the JDK. Well done @yawkat !

I know that people rarely get excited (like me) by latency percentiles, but moving to a netty powered loom scheduler can save +30% of CPU usage w similar perf. Which translates in saving $$$ (whilst making it a greener choice too). That's exciting 🔝

Experimental support for io_uring & thread-per-core, shared-nothing design is now available! We're pushing hardware and kernel limits to deliver extreme performance & ultra-low latency. Want to help take Iggy to the next level? Feel free to contribute! #iggy #asf #io_uring #rust
