OOMKilled Deep Dive: From Alert to JVM Memory Leak
An in-depth exploration of a production OOMKilled alert, tracing the issue from JVM memory management to a critical code vulnerability.
Hi, I’m Binliu.
I build software, explore ideas, and write to understand them better.
I’m a software engineer living in the Netherlands. This is my corner of the internet for notes on software systems, engineering craft, life abroad, and the choices and questions that shape a life.
Some ideas begin at work; others emerge from music, cities, conversations, or ordinary moments. Writing helps me connect them, clarify what I think, and share something useful along the way.

Beyond the keyboard
There’s more to a life than the work.
Living between China and the Netherlands has made me curious about how people build a sense of home, identity, and possibility in unfamiliar places. Outside work, I spend my time cooking, listening to music, exploring cities, and writing about choices, change, and life abroad—often beginning with small observations that lead to much larger questions.
