Java 9 High Performance

By: Mayur Ramgir, Nick Samoylov

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.

Network operations

As the world is progressing toward the SaaS application's paradigm, it is imperative to pay close attention to network utilization of your program. In this typical client-server architecture, in many cases, every event is processed on the server side and the data constantly flows over the wire, across the oceans, miles away from its origin. On top of this, the world is becoming impatient regarding speed and performance. With the advent of social media and the love of video and photo sharing, data usage has sky rocketed and is using up almost all the bandwidth a user can get. Hence, it is extremely important to use network resources as efficiently as possible.

In order to squeeze every possible performance gain from the available network resources, we need to implement various strategies and design patterns. This section will highlight some of the new additions...
