Testing (if there are no) pinned Virtual Threads
In the previous post we were testing if Java’s Virtual Threads aren’t used in a way that makes them pinned. It’s because we want our Platform Threads (especially those in the ForkJoin Pool Co.) to keep carrying more and more new Virtual Threads, instead of keeping the engine running while VTs are pinned. (At least as long as we can’t provide our own thread pools to carry VTs.)
Spoiler alert: we’re going to use Testcontainers and Toxiproxy today!
