Johannes Bechberger is a JVM developer working on profilers and their underlying technology in the SapMachine team at SAP. This includes improvements to async-profiler and its ecosystem, a website to view the different JFR event types, and improvements to the FirefoxProfiler, making it usable in the Java world. He started at SAP in 2022 after two years of research studies at the KIT in Java security analyses. His work today comprises many open-source contributions and his blog, where he regularly writes on in-depth profiling and debugging topics. He also works on hello-ebpf, the first eBPF library for Java.

Since 2023, he's been touring Europe's Java User Groups and conferences, like JavaZone and Devoxx Belgium, to speak on various topics.

LOCATION: Bern
KEYWORDS: Language, Security, Technology

Unfortunately, the speaker is unable to make this appointment and we have to cancel the talk. However, it is still possible to attend the talk in Zurich or Lucerne.

SPEAKER: Johannes Bechberger   COMPANY: SAP

eBPF is buzzing all over the cloud native world, as the cutting-edge technology reshaping the way we understand performance, security, and observability within kernel space. Embark with us on an ambitious challenge to write and build a high-throughput firewall leveraging the combined power of eBPF and Java.

We'll start with a deep dive into eBPF's capabilities for kernel-level packet manipulation, then transition to how Java's latest advancements, particularly through Project Panama, enable seamless native code invocation and interoperability. Our focus will then converge to a hands-on demonstration of building a simple firewall using eBPF and Java.
