tl;dr

Great day, great people, great discussions and great team of dis-organisers!

Whoever comes are the right people!

Thanks to all who attended, it’s down to each and every one of you that JManc Unconference 2024 was a success!

See you next year! 😀

intro

In January this year we decided to test the interest of the Manchester Java Community on whether they were up for another edition of the JManc Unconference . We sent out a survey to our members and from the responses received there was unanimous support for to us to run it again. This gave Jon Bullock , Dave Underwood and I the motivation we needed to put plans into motion for the 3rd edition of JManc Unconference!

JManc Unconference 2024

The Manchester Java Community are delighted to announce the return of JManc Unconference on Friday 28th June 2024!

It’s been a few years since we last hosted JManc, and a lot has changed in the world, but one thing we’ve learned in the Manchester Java Community is that in-person events are what we love the most. JManc provides another opportunity for us to get together with like-minded people from the Java community.

The Story of a Java 17 Native Memory Leak

Context

When Java 17 was released, we (the platform team at Auto Trader where I was working at the time) were fairly quick to provide a new Docker base image to allow our developers to gain the benefits of the new goodness in the JDK available since Java 11, the previous LTS version.

Over the course of a few years, we’ve standardised the way the JVM is configured out of the box for any new applications that make use of the base image. In general, this provides product teams with a good default starting point from which to get up & running quickly with any new service they plan to deploy.
