Improve Amazon EMR HBase availability and tail latency using generational ZGC
Large-scale HBase deployments on Amazon EMR suffer from unpredictable garbage collection behavior that creates performance bottlenecks for business-critical applications. To solve this problem, Amazon EMR leverages Oracle’s generational ZGC technology from JDK 21 to deliver predictable, sub-millisecond pause times. This post shows you how to configure generational ZGC in Amazon EMR 7.10.0, apply performance tuning methods, and optimize HBase RegionServer garbage collection settings.
Guide to adopting Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio from ATPCO’s Journey
ATPCO is the backbone of modern airline retailing, helping airlines and third-party channels deliver the right offers to customers at the right time.
