We explore safepoint analysis, JVM log output blocking, asynchronous logging implementation, and WebFlux optimization to achieve a complete solution.https://neatguycoding.com/posts/spring-data-redis-connection-leak/Thu, 14 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://neatguycoding.com/posts/spring-data-redis-connection-leak/A production incident investigation revealing how Spring Data Redis + Lettuce can leak connections when mixing SessionCallback and executeWithStickyConnection operations. Deep dive into connection management mechanisms, JFR analysis techniques, and practical solutions to prevent your Redis connection pool from becoming a black hole.https://neatguycoding.com/posts/spring-cloud-gateway-avalanche/Wed, 01 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://neatguycoding.com/posts/spring-cloud-gateway-avalanche/A deep dive into a production incident where our Spring Cloud Gateway experienced cascading failures due to blocking Redis operations. Learn how synchronous API calls in reactive environments can cause thread starvation, leading to health check failures and system-wide avalanches, plus the complete solution using async patterns.
