Do you trust profilers? I once did too (gpn21)

Profilers are great tools in your toolbox, like debuggers, when solving problems with your Java application (I've been on a podcast on this topic recently). I'll tell you some of their problems and a technique to cope with them in this talk.\n\nThere are many open-source profilers, most notably JFR/JMC, and async-profiler, that help you to find and fix performance problems. But they are just software themself, interwoven with a reasonably large project, the OpenJDK (or OpenJ9, for that matter), and thus suffer from the same problems as the typical problems of application they are used to profile.\nabout this event: https://cfp.gulas.ch/gpn21/talk/VFBQ88/
