Virtual threads became a permanent feature in JDK 21. This is one of the most exciting additions to the Java Platform in recent years. We will present some guidance on using Virtual threads effectively. We will present an update on the so-called “pinning” issue that many developers have run into with exiting using object monitors. This session will show how Structured Concurrency can be used to treat a group of related tasks running in different virtual threads as a single unit of work.
