Java Flight Recorder (JFR) is a profiling and diagnostics tool integrated into the JVM, now being used with cloud-native frameworks like Quarkus for monitoring and profiling Java applications.
To setup JFR in Quarkus, add appropriate dependencies to your Maven project, ensure Java 11 or higher, and configure JVM parameters accordingly.
Save JFR events by running the Quarkus app with recording options enabled, and open the .jfr file using JDK Mission Control for analysis.
Custom events can be defined and emitted in a Quarkus application to capture specific behaviors, enhancing monitoring and profiling capabilities.
