Java21 Virtual Threads Masterclass

The document provides an overview of Java 21's virtual threads and structured concurrency, highlighting the limitations of traditional threads and the benefits of virtual threads, such as lightweight management and improved memory usage. It discusses the architecture of virtual threads, structured concurrency principles, and practical applications like high throughput APIs and microservice orchestration. Additionally, it outlines scenarios where virtual threads may not be suitable, including CPU-intensive workloads and legacy blocking libraries.
