Virtual Threads: The Future of Java Concurrency

2026-03-26 Български Event Website

📅 Date: 26.03.2026

🎙️ Speaker: Denis Bonev – Senior Software Engineer at Amusnet

🔐 About the event:

This event is part of the Java user group on DEV.BG.

Traditional multithreading in Java has long been associated with high complexity, difficult debugging, and significant resource consumption. With the introduction of virtual threads and the upcoming improvements in Java 25/26, the game rules are fundamentally changing. Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency, and Scoped Values transform multithreading into a powerful and predictable tool.

We will explore the architectural changes under the hood and see how to write scalable code that looks and behaves like simple synchronous code.

>>> Virtual Threads: The end of Thread-per-Request limitations
>>> Structured Concurrency: Order in chaos
>>> Scoped Values: The modern alternative to ThreadLocal
>>> Migration & Production Pitfalls
>>> Q&A

The event is free but requires mandatory prior registration.
