Presentation: TweetExploring Caves, You, and Building Better Big Data Apps
What does exploring through dark caves (spelunking) and app development have in common? Turns out, quite a bit. Historically, it has been challenging to find a lightweight integrated solution that provides the illumination into how your apps are behaving. In this session, we'll use Splunk and our Java SDK as a frame of reference to explore getting better insights into your applications and how you can build compelling big data applications today.We’ll also cover some cool ways you can monitor your JVM infrastructures and integrate with the Spring framework.
