Live with CMG Canada!

Snail4j is a load-test-in-a-box that aims to educate Java developers on software performance. It brings the data center performance firefight to developers’ own computers. Snail4j challenges the end user to solicit predictions1 on software performance experiments, encompassing four main categories of software defects: Persistence, Alien systems, Threads, and Heap (P.A.T.H.).

In this session, live from Toronto, we will explore:

• Does performance improve with more or fewer invocations to the database?
• How large must a payload be to degrade transmission time?
• How much delay is required to really slow down code using Java synchronization?

With Snail4j, the end user has a self-paced learning environment where they can finally get their hands on the tough problems that have long been handled only by performance “experts”.
