Cassandra CLI Internals Using JArchitect
Cassandra CLI is a useful tool for Cassandra administrators. It's a good example of how to implement a Cassandra client and CLI internals help us to develop custom Cassandra clients or even extend the CLI tool. In this article, author explores Cassandra CLI architecture model using JArchitect tool and CQLinq language to analyze its code base.

To Execution profile or to Memory Profile? That is the question.
There are times when memory profiling will provide a clearer picture than execution profiling to find execution hot spots. In this article Kirk Pepperdine talks through some indicators for determining when to use which kind of profiler.

Is Your Application Ready?
We mostly ship software by date, squeezing all development and testing efforts toward that deadline. We prioritize what we think is important, and once our application passes a certain quality level, we’re ready to go live. But even when we do ship, can we tell the readiness status of our application?

G1: One Garbage Collector To Rule Them All
Many articles describe how a poorly tuned garbage collector can bring an application's SLA commitments to its knees. Oracle's new G1 Collector in HotSpot moves away from the conventional GC model, where a Java heap splits into (contiguous) young and old generations, and instead introduces the concept of “regions”, for a generally more performant and manageable GC.
