Glimpse into Alibaba Dragonwell: Towards a Java runtime for cloud computing

Alibaba Dragonwell, which has been open-sourced in this March by Alibaba, aims at a Java runtime scalable in the cloud, supporting a variety of application scenarios covering e-commerce, logistics, and e-finance.

In this talk, we will describe the challenges in scaling different mixes of applications in the cloud and the solutions we are introducing in Alibaba Dragonwell and discuss how the characterization of our Java workloads would guide us to implement these features. While your workloads are different, the thought process we went through could be useful for you too.
