Structured Concurrency in Java

Originally aired:

About the Session

Dividing a large problem into subproblems that are scheduled to run on different threads is a commonly used solution. We’ve used executors and the fork/join pool for such problems in the past. While powerful, these solutions come with significant limitations. In this presentation, we will start with those solutions, discuss their issues, and learn how structured concurrency, introduced in Java 21, can help solve such problems more effectively and elegantly.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Back-end Developers, as they frequently handle multi-threaded tasks in Java and will benefit from understanding how structured concurrency in Java 21 can simplify concurrent programming and improve performance. Software Architects are the secondary audience, as structured concurrency can influence system design, particularly in building more maintainable, reliable, and scalable systems.
