Sanhong Li — Extreme scaling with Alibaba JDK

On November 11, 2017, Alibaba smashed its own online transaction record once again. The peak throughput of 325,000 transactions per second is 85% more than that in 2016. Most of these business-critical transactions are handled by hundreds of thousands of Java applications, written in more than a billion lines of code. Alibaba JDK (AJDK) is the engine that runs these eCommerce applications in extreme scaling. There is no way we can build a JDK from scratch.
