Java on Kubernetes: Lessons in Performance Engineering with Akamas and Microsoft

On September 25, 2025, we rethought how to tune Java applications in modern cloud-native environments.

Modern Java workloads run at massive scale – but running them efficiently on Kubernetes is still harder than it should be.

In this webinar, Akamas CTO Stefano Doni and Microsoft Principal PM Bruno Borges explore the current state of Java performance on Kubernetes, uncover widespread misconceptions, and take a forward-looking view of what’s coming next in the Java ecosystem.

From GC tuning and memory limits to CPU boost and container-aware heuristics, they walk through real-world lessons and best practices to avoid the most common (and costly) performance pitfalls. They also dive into what JDK 25 and projects like Leyden mean for future workloads – and how engineers can prepare.

Key takeaways:

  • What most developers still get wrong about Java on Kubernetes
  • The surprising impact of resource requests, limits, and topology on performance
  • Upcoming JVM features that promise better startup, memory efficiency, and tuning control
  • The role of observability, experimentation, and AI in next-gen performance engineering
  • Practical tools to boost your performance workflows

Whether you’re tuning microservices at scale or just want to get the most from your Java applications on Kubernetes, this session helps you navigate the complexity and unlock new performance opportunities.
