Notes For Developers

• NEVER execute blocking commands on an eventloop thread (i.e. CountDownLatch.await or Future.get)
  • Calls out to unknown functions (i.e. callbacks or event listeners) should always be done on isolated thread pools.
  • Slow but not necessarily blocking operations should also be avoided
• Attempt to avoid doing long running tasks on event loop threads
• Use new as sparingly as possible to avoid creating garbage:
  • Share objects when possible
  • Use netty bytebuf allocators when possible
  • Use netty recyclers for objects that can be recycled.
