The author says the project will keep being maintained, with currently hot topics like Golang, Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry planned, and new content will also be updated into the repo itself.

The author separately runs a paid Knowledge Planet (知识星球) community (about 59 yuan with a 10-yuan coupon) for closer contact and updates, but the repo content itself stays free.

Beyond JVM and concurrency there is an architecture section on flash-sale (seckill) system design and practice and a million-level message push system, plus distributed topics like Redis-based locks and distributed ID generation.
