Java Performance Update: From JDK 21 to JDK 25 JDK 25 has arrived, bringing a major set of performance gains over JDK 21—often letting your existing, unchanged Java applications run faster right away. In this talk, we’ll dive into 13 concrete performance improvements delivered between JDK 21 and JDK 25 across the standard libraries, the JIT compiler, and garbage collectors. Along the way, you’ll get an inside look at the design tradeoffs behind these optimizations and how JDK engineers evaluate performance in the real world—where platforms differ and optimization goals can conflict. We’ll also spotlight one of the most exciting new additions: the preview feature Stable Value, which lets a field combine key benefits of both mutable and immutable data. You’ll learn how Stable Value works, what kinds of speedups it can unlock, and how you can start taking advantage of it today. Presented by *Claes Redestad* and *Per Minborg* (Java Platform Group - Oracle) during *Jfokus* 2026 ➤ https://www.jfokus.se More on Performance ➤ https://inside.java/tag/performance Tags: #Java, #Performance, #JVM, #OpenJDK

Catching Up with GraalVM: When “Faster Java” Turns into Patch Tuesday—and a Clean Break with Intel Macs -- ADTmag The story of GraalVM in early 2026: a project settling into a quarterly cadence, tightening its support matrix, and—thanks to Oracle—being very explicit about what it is no longer going to be.

Things I miss about Spring Boot after switching to Go I wrote production systems for a startup in Java & Spring Boot for 1.5 years before switching to Golang. That was a high-paced startup, so we were shipping features every week. There I got my hands dirty on some absolute backend technologies that are powering business-orientated backends, such as Java,
