In this session, we will present real life applications of compiler techniques helping kaChing achieve ultra confidence and power its incredible 5 minutes commit-to-production cycle [1]. We'll talk about idempotency analysis [2], dependency detection, on the fly optimisations, automatic memoization [3], type unification [4] and more! This talk is not suitable for the faint-hearted... If you want to dive deep, learn about advanced JVM topics, devoure bytecode and see first hand applications of theoretical computer science, join us.
