A deep dive into Java garbage collectors

Oct 17, 2025 By Jean-Philippe Bempel In Datadog
Historically, developers have relied on languages like C and C++ for explicit control over memory allocation and deallocation. This approach can yield very low overhead and tight control over performance, but it also increases complexity and risk (e.g., memory leaks, dangling pointers, and double frees). This often results in runtime issues that are difficult to diagnose, which can become a drag on team velocity.

Integrating JMX and OpenTelemetry

Sep 22, 2025 By Alex Boten In Honeycomb
The OpenTelemetry community and the contributors to the Java Special Interest Group (SIG) have spent a great deal of time integrating core Java technologies into the project. An integration that is particularly useful is Java Management Extensions (JMX). It has been around since J2SE 5, and has been mature for some time. Many of the most widely used Java applications have adopted it over time and support this extension.

What is Java Performance Monitoring? [A Guide to DevOps Engineers]

Jul 24, 2025 By Mohana Ayeswariya J In Atatus
You rolled out a Java application that worked fine in development. Fast, clean, no errors. However, once it went into production, things began to change. Suddenly, the app feels slow. CPU usage climbs without warning. Some users start getting timeouts. You check the dashboards, but nothing jumps out. You look through the logs, but it's mostly noise. And then the questions start coming in - "Is the JVM the problem?" If you've been in that situation, you're not alone.

How to Handle the NumberFormatException in Java

Jun 27, 2025 By Rollbar In Rollbar
The NumberFormatException is one of the most common runtime exceptions you'll encounter in Java. It's an unchecked exception that occurs when you try to convert a string to a numeric value, but the string format isn't compatible with the target number type. Simply put, if you attempt to parse "hello" as an integer or "12.5" as an integer, Java throws a NumberFormatException because these strings can't be converted to the expected numeric format.
