Thread per Request vs Thread Pool per Operation - Architectural Comparison

Explore the architectural approaches of thread per request versus thread pool per operation in web application design through this conference talk from Lambda Days 2022. Dive into the characteristics of web applications, thread mapping models, and JVM considerations. Compare the pros and cons of both thread per request and thread pool per operation approaches, with examples from Spring and Akka Http frameworks. Watch a practical demo and gain insights from the Q&A session to make informed decisions for your next project's technology stack. Learn from Krzysztof Płachno, a Scala Data Engineer at SwissBorg, as he provides a comprehensive analysis of these design motivations and their practical consequences.
