Readiness and liveness failed with smallrye metrics in kubernetes

I'm deploying a pod written in quarkus in kubernetes and the startup seems to go fine. But there's a problem with readiness and liveness that result unhealthy.
For metrics I'm using smallrye metrics configured on port 8080 and on path:
quarkus.smallrye-metrics.path=/metrics
If i enter in the pod and i execute
curl localhost:8080/metrics
the response is
# HELP base_classloader_loadedClasses_count Displays the number of classes that are currently loaded in the Java virtual machine.

# HELP base_cpu_processCpuLoad_percent Displays the "recent cpu usage" for the Java Virtual Machine process. This value is a double in the [0.0,1.0] interval. A value of 0.0 means that none of the CPUs were running threads from the JVM process during the recent period of time observed, while a value of 1.0 means that all CPUs were actively running threads from the JVM 100% of the time during the recent period being observed. Threads from the JVM include the application threads as well as the JVM internal threads. All values between 0.0 and 1.0 are possible depending of the activities going on in the JVM process and the whole system. If the Java Virtual Machine recent CPU usage is not available, the method returns a negative value.

# HELP base_cpu_systemLoadAverage Displays the system load average for the last minute. The system load average is the sum of the number of runnable entities queued to the available processors and the number of runnable entities running on the available processors averaged over a period of time. The way in which the load average is calculated is operating system specific but is typically a damped time-dependent average. If the load average is not available, a negative value is displayed. This attribute is designed to provide a hint about the system load and may be queried frequently. The load average may be unavailable on some platforms where it is expensive to implement this method.

So it seems metrics are working fine, but kubernetes returns this error:
Warning Unhealthy 24m (x9 over 28m) kubelet Liveness probe errored: strconv.Atoi: parsing "metrics": invalid syntax
Warning Unhealthy 4m2s (x70 over 28m) kubelet Readiness probe errored: strconv.Atoi: parsing "metrics": invalid syntax
Any help?
Thanks

First I needed to fix dockerfile.jvm

CMD java ${JAVA_OPTS} -jar ${JAVA_APP_JAR}
this way jar started working. without that CMD openjdk image is just starting jshell. After that I saw the log below
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

DB connection in kubernetes is not working.
deploy command: mvn clean package -DskipTests -Dquarkus.kubernetes.deploy=true
"minikube dashboard" looks like below
used the endpoints below
quarkus.smallrye-health.root-path=/health
quarkus.smallrye-health.liveness-path=/health/live
quarkus.smallrye-metrics.path=/metrics
and liveness url looks like below in the firefox
I needed to change some dependencies in pom because I use minikube in my local and needed to delete some java code because of db connection problems, you can find working example at https://github.com/ozkanpakdil/quarkus-examples/tree/master/liveness-readiness-kubernetes

Why my java heapSize > rss ? in k8s pods environment

here is the situation about jstat: 3G young,1.7G old,total about 4.7G:
but,in rss situtation,it looks like that:
I don't know why. especially in others pods(with the same container in it), rss > java heapSize.
here is the jvm optition:
-XX:+UseG1GC,
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication,

-XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75.0,
-XX:InitialRAMPercentage=75.0,

Slow application, frequent JVM hangs with single-CPU setups and Java 12+

We have a client application (with 10+ years of development). Its JDK was upgraded from OpenJDK 11 to OpenJDK 14 recently. On single-CPU (hyper-threading disabled) Windows 10 setups (and inside VirtualBox machines with only one available CPU) the application starts quite slowly compared to Java 11. Furthermore, it uses 100% CPU most of the time. We could also reproduce the issue with setting the processor affinity to only one CPU (c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 ...).
Some measurement with starting the application and doing a query with minimal manual interaction in my VirtualBox machine:
OpenJDK 11.0.2: 36 seconds
OpenJDK 13.0.2: ~1.5 minutes
OpenJDK 13.0.2 with -XX:-UseBiasedLocking: 46 seconds
OpenJDK 13.0.2 with -XX:-ThreadLocalHandshakes: 40 seconds
OpenJDK 14: 5-6 minutes
OpenJDK 14 with -XX:-UseBiasedLocking: 3-3,5 minutes
OpenJDK 15 EA Build 20: ~4,5 minutes
Only the used JDK (and the mentioned options) has been changed. (-XX:-ThreadLocalHandshakes is not available in Java 14.)
We have tried logging what JDK 14 does with -Xlog:all=debug:file=app.txt:uptime,tid,level,tags:filecount=50.
Counting the log lines for every second seems quite smooth with OpenJDK 11.0.2:
$ cat jdk11-log/app* | grep "^\[" | cut -d. -f 1 | cut -d[ -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 2 -n
30710 0
44012 1
55461 2
55974 3
27182 4

43796 6
51889 7

29526 15
2350 16
50228 17
62623 18
42684 19
45045 20
On the other hand, OpenJDK 14 seems to have interesting quiet periods:
$ cat jdk14-log/app* | grep "^\[" | cut -d. -f 1 | cut -d[ -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 2 -n
7726 0
1715 5
10744 6
4341 11
42792 12

17253 21
34747 22
1025 28
2079 33
2398 39
3016 44
So, what's happening between seconds 1-4, 7-10 and 14-20?

The following two lines seems interesting:

[21.455s][6708][info ][handshake ] Handshake "Deoptimize", Targeted threads: 11, Executed by targeted threads: 0, Total completion time: 6876829000 ns
Is that normal that these handshakes took 5.5 and 6.8 seconds?
I have experienced the same slowdown (and similar logs) with the update4j demo app (which is completely unrelated to our application) running with this command:
Z:\swing>\jdk-14\bin\java -Xlog:all=debug:file=app.txt:uptime,tid,level,tags:filecount=50 \
-jar update4j-1.4.5.jar --remote http://docs.update4j.org/demo/setup.xml
What should I look for to make our app faster again on single-CPU Windows 10 setups? Can I fix this by changing something in our application or by adding JVM arguments?
Is that a JDK bug, should I report it?
update 2020-04-25:
As far as I see the log files also contains GC logs. These are the first GC logs:

Unfortunately it does not seem related since it starts after the third pause.
update 2020-04-26:
With OpenJDK 14 the application uses 100% CPU in my (single-CPU) VirtualBox machine (running on a i7-6600U CPU). The virtual machine has 3,5 GB RAM. According to Task Manager 40%+ is free and disk activity is 0% (I guess this means no swapping). Adding another CPU to the virtual machine (and enabling hyper-threading for physical machines) make the application fast enough again. I just wondering, was it an intentional trade-off during JDK development to loss performance on (rare) single-CPU machines to make the JVM faster on multicore/hyper-threading CPUs?

TL;DR: It's an OpenJDK regression filed as JDK-8244340 and has been fixed in JDK 15 Build 24 (2020/5/20).
I did not except that but I could reproduce the issue with a simple hello world:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
}
I have used these two batch files:
main-1cpu.bat, which limits the java process to only one CPU:
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 \
\jdk-14\bin\java \
-Xlog:all=trace:file=app-1cpu.txt:uptime,tid,level,tags:filecount=50 \
Main
main-full.bat, the java process can use both CPUs:
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity FF \
\jdk-14\bin\java \
-Xlog:all=trace:file=app-full.txt:uptime,tid,level,tags:filecount=50 \
Main
(The differences are the affinity value and name of the log file. I've wrapped it for easier reading but wrapping with \ probably doesn't work on Windows.)
A few measurements on Windows 10 x64 in VirtualBox (with two CPUs):
PS Z:\main> Measure-Command { .\main-1cpu.bat }
...
TotalSeconds : 7.0203455
...
PS Z:\main> Measure-Command { .\main-full.bat }
...
TotalSeconds : 1.5751352
...
PS Z:\main> Measure-Command { .\main-full.bat }
...
TotalSeconds : 1.5585384
...
PS Z:\main> Measure-Command { .\main-1cpu.bat }
...
TotalSeconds : 23.6482685
...
The produced tracelogs contain similar pauses that you can see in the question.
Running Main without tracelogs is faster but the difference still can be seen between the single-CPU and two-CPU version: ~4-7 seconds vs. ~400 ms.
I've sent this findings to the hotspot-dev#openjdk mail list and devs there confirmed that this is something that the JDK could handle better. You can find supposed fixes in the thread too.
Another thread about the regression on hotspot-runtime-dev#. JIRA issue for the fix: JDK-8244340

From my experience performance problems with JDKs are related mostly to one of the following:
JIT Compilation
VM configuration (heap sizes)
GC algorithm
Changes in the JVM/JDK which break known good running applications
(Oh, and I forgot to mention class loading...)
If you just use the default JVM configuration since OpenJDK11, maybe you should set some of the more prominent options to fixed values, like GC, Heap size, etc.
Maybe some graphical analyse tool could help track your issue down. Like Retrace, AppDynamics or FlightRecorder and the like. These give more overview on the overall state of heap, GC cycles, RAM, threads, CPU load and so on at a given time than log files could provide.
Do I understand correctly that your application writes about 30710 lines to the log within the first second of running (under OpenJDK11)? Why is it "only" writing about 7k lines under OpenJDK14 in the first second? This seems like a huge difference for an application that is just started on different JVMs to me... Are you sure there are not for example high amounts of Exception stacktraces dumped into the log?
The other numbers are even higher sometimes, so maybe the slowdowns are related to exception logging? Or even swapping, if RAM gets low?
Actually I am thinking, if an application does not write anything into the log, this is a sign of smooth running without problems (unless it is frozen entirely in this time). What is happening from seconds 12-22 (in the OpenJDK14 case here) is what would concern me more... the logged lines go through the roof... why?
And afterwards the logging goes down to all time low values of about 1-2k lines... what is the reason for that?? (Well, maybe it is the GC kicking in at second 22 and does a tabula rasa which resolves some things...?)
Another thing may be your statement about "single CPU" machines. Does this imply "single core" also (Idk, maybe your software is tailored on legacy hardware or something)?
And the "single CPU" VMs are running on those machines?
But I assume, I am wrong about these assumptions, since almost all CPUs are multicore nowadays... but I would investigate on a multithreading issue (deadlock) problem maybe.

Since it's using 100% CPU "most of the time", and it takes 10 times longer (!) with Java 14, it means that you're wasting 90% of your CPU in Java 14.
Running out of heap space can do that, as you spend a whole lot of time in GC, but you seem to have ruled that out.
I notice that you're tweaking the biased locking option, and that it makes a significant difference. That tells me that maybe your program does a lot of concurrent work in multiple threads. It's possible that your program has a concurrency bug that shows up in Java 14, but not in Java 10. That could also explain why adding another CPU makes it more than twice as fast.
Concurrency bugs often only show up when you're unlucky, and the trigger could really have been anything, like a change to hashmap organization, etc.
First, if it's feasible, check for any loops that might be busy-waiting instead of sleeping.
Then, run a profiler in sampling mode (jvisualvm will do) and look for methods that are taking a much larger % of total time than they should. Since your performance is off by a factor of 10, any problems in there should really jump out.

This is an interesting issue and it would require indeterminate amount of effort to narrow it down since there are many permutations and combinations that need to be tried out and data collected and collated.
Seems as of there has been no resolution to this for some time. Perhaps this might need to be escalated.
EDIT 2: Since "ThreadLocalHandshakes" is deprecated and we can assume that locking is contended, suggest trying without "UseBiasedLocking" to hopefully speed up this scenario.
However there are some suggestions to collect more data and attempt to isolate the issue.
Allocate more than one core [I see that you have tried it and the issue goes away. Seems to be an issue with a thread/s execution precluding others. See no 7 below)
Allocate more heap (perhaps the demands of v14 is more than that of earlier jdks)
Allocate more memory to the Win 10 VB.
Check the OS system messages (Win 10 in your case)
Run it in an non-virtualized Win 10.
Try a different build of jdk 14
Do a thread dump every (or profile)few intervals of time. Analyze what thread is running exclusively. Perhaps there is a setting for equitable time sharing. Perhaps there is a higher priority thread running. What is that thread and what is it doing? In linux you could stat the lightweight processes (threads) associated with a process and its state in realtime. Something similar on Win 10?
CPU usage? 100% or less? Constrained by CPU or mem? 100% CPU in service threads? Which service thread?
Have you explicitly set a GC algo?
I have personally witnessed issues within versions that have to do with GC, heap resizing, issues with virtualized containers and so on.
There is no easy answer to that, I think, especially since this question has been around for some time. But we can try, all the best and let us know what is the result of some of these isolation steps.
EDIT 1: from the updated question, it seems to be related to a GC or another service thread taking over the single core non-equitably (Thread-Local Handshakes)?

Be careful with logging to slow disks, it will slow down your application:
https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/02/eliminating-large-jvm-gc-pauses-caused-by-background-io-traffic
But it doesn't seem likely to be the cause of the issue as the CPU is still busy and you don't have to wait for all threads to come to a safe point thanks to thread-local handshake: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/312
Also not directly related to the problem you have but more generally if you want to try to squeeze more performance out of your hardware for startup time, take a look at AppCDS (class data sharing):

Memory issue with App Engine and Firestore

I'm developing a MS with Kotlin and Micronaut which access a Firestore database. When I run this MS locally I can make it work with 128M because it's very simple just read and write data to Firestore, and not big amounts of data, really small data like this:
{
"project": "DUMMY",
"columns": [
{
"name": "TODO",
"taskStatus": "TODO"
},
{
"name": "IN_PROGRESS",
"taskStatus": "IN_PROGRESS"
},
{
"name": "DONE",
"taskStatus": "DONE"
}
],
"tasks": {}
}
I'm running this in App Engine Standard in a F1 instance (256 MB 600 MHz) with this properties in my app.yaml
runtime: java11
instance_class: F1 # 256 MB 600 MHz
entrypoint: java -Xmx200m -jar MY_JAR.jar
service: data-connector
env_variables:
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: "-Xmx230m"
GAE_MEMORY_MB: 128M
automatic_scaling:
max_instances: 1
max_idle_instances: 1
I know all that properties for handling memory are not necessary but I was desperate trying to make this work and just tried a lot of solutions because my first error message was:
Exceeded soft memory limit of 256 MB with 263 MB after servicing 1 requests total. Consider setting a larger instance class in app.yaml.
The error below is not fixed with the properties in the app.yaml, but now everytime I make a call to return that JSON I get this error
2020-04-10 12:09:15.953 CEST
While handling this request, the process that handled this request was found to be using too much memory and was terminated. This is likely to cause a new process to be used for the next request to your application. If you see this message frequently, you may have a memory leak in your application or may be using an instance with insufficient memory. Consider setting a larger instance class in app.yaml.
It always last longer in the first request, I think due to some Firestore configuration, but the thing is that I cannot make that work, always getting the same error.
Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong or what I need to fix this?

TL;DR The problem was I tried to used a very small instance for a simple application, but even with that I needed more memory.
Ok, a friend helped me with this. I was using a very small instance and even when I didn't get the error of memory limit it was a memory problem.
Updating my instance to a F2 (512 MB 1.2 GHz) solved the problem and testing my app with siege resulted in a very nice performance:
Transactions: 5012 hits
Availability: 100.00 %
Elapsed time: 59.47 secs
Data transferred: 0.45 MB
Response time: 0.30 secs

Throughput: 0.01 MB/sec
Concurrency: 24.95
Successful transactions: 3946
Failed transactions: 0
Longest transaction: 1.08
Shortest transaction: 0.09
My sysops friends tells me that this instances are more for python scripting code and things like that, not JVM REST servers.

Heroku | Cloud Implementation

I´m trying to put my program in Heroku, i´ve made all the steps, created a git repository, commited all the stuff, but when I try to push to heroku, I always have this output:
**ERROR in Child compilation failed:

ERROR in budgets, maximum exceeded for /tmp/build_0e8fdf2b85b36f64aa8fc55074a8481a/src/app/app.component.css. Budget 10 kB was exceeded by 129 kB.**
I´ve searched for answers, and did this:
"budgets": {
"type": "any",
"baseline": "400kb",

I have tried with mb and kb instead of percentage but nothing worked...
Can somebody help me with this one?
