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 not survive, probably, because the ability to actively engage (execute) the content does not align well with the original...

Overview of this book
Java 9 which is one of the most popular application development languages. The latest released version Java 9 comes with a host of new features and new APIs with lots of ready to use components to build efficient and scalable applications. Streams, parallel and asynchronous processing, multithreading, JSON support, reactive programming, and microservices comprise the hallmark of modern programming and are now fully integrated into the JDK.
This book focuses on providing quick, practical solutions to enhance your application's performance. You will explore the new features, APIs, and various tools added in Java 9 that help to speed up the development process. You will learn about jshell, Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation, and the basic threads related topics including sizing and synchronization. You will also explore various strategies for building microservices including container-less, self-contained, and in-container.
This book is ideal for developers who would like to build reliable and high-performance applications with Java.
This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Java 9 High Performance by Mayur Ramgir and Nick Samoylov
