People use the term container to refer to very different things. In the original usage, a container was something that carried its content from one location to another without changing anything inside. However, when servers were introduced, only one aspect was emphasized the ability to hold an application to contain it. Also, another meaning was added to provide life-supportive infrastructure so that the container's content (an application) can not only survive but also be active and respond to the external requests. Such a redefined notion of a container was applied to web servers (servlet container), application servers (an application container with or without an EJB container), and other software facilities that provided the supportive environment for applications. Sometimes, even the JVM itself was called a container, but this association did...

Overview of this book
Finally, a book that focuses on the practicalities rather than theory of Java application performance tuning. This book will be your one-stop guide to optimize the performance of your Java applications.
We will begin by understanding the new features and APIs of Java 9. You will then be taught the practicalities of Java application performance tuning, how to make the best use of garbage collector, and find out how to optimize code with microbenchmarking. Moving ahead, you will be introduced to multithreading and learning about concurrent programming with Java 9 to build highly concurrent and efficient applications. You will learn how to fine tune your Java code for best results. You will discover techniques on how to benchmark performance and reduce various bottlenecks in your applications. We'll also cover best practices of Java programming that will help you improve the quality of your codebase.
By the end of the book, you will be armed with the knowledge to build and deploy efficient, scalable, and concurrent applications in Java.
