Netty Performance Tuning: Zero‑Copy, Off‑Heap Memory Management, and EventLoop Thread Model Optimization
This article analyzes the root causes of high CPU usage, GC pauses, and thread contention in Netty‑based messaging systems and presents a step‑by‑step solution covering zero‑copy with CompositeByteBuf and FileRegion, off‑heap Direct Buffers with PooledByteBufAllocator, and fine‑tuned EventLoopGroup configurations, backed by concrete benchmark data.
