Presentation: Maintaining Java Apps in Production Environments

Bookmarks
There is abundant information available on developing Java technology-based applications.

Issues such as troubleshooting the applications deployed in production environments, maintaining multiple versions of large code bases, and working with autogenerated code are insufficiently covered in public discussions and documents.

In this presentation, Alexandre Rafalovitch delivers an organized overview of the tools and techniques that help with resolving problems that arise in real production environments.
