Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

By: Chintan Mehta, Subhash Shah, Pritesh Shah, Prashant Goswami, Dinesh Radadiya

Overview of this book

While writing an application, performance is paramount. Performance tuning for real-world applications often involves activities geared toward detecting bottlenecks. The recent release of Spring 5.0 brings major advancements in the rich API provided by the Spring framework, which means developers need to master its tools and techniques to achieve high performance applications. Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5 begins with the Spring framework's core features, exploring the integration of different Spring projects. It proceeds to evaluate various Spring specifications to identify those adversely affecting performance. You will learn about bean wiring configurations, aspect-oriented programming, database interaction, and Hibernate to focus on the metrics that help identify performance bottlenecks. You will also look at application monitoring, performance optimization, JVM internals, and garbage collection optimization. Lastly, the book will show you how to leverage the microservice architecture to build a high performance and resilient application. By the end of the book, you will have gained an insight into various techniques and solutions to build and troubleshoot high performance Spring-based applications.

Application Performance Optimization

In the previous chapter, we focused on how to profile an application to figure out the performance issue of an application. We also covered logging, which is a useful tool in identifying issues in the application. It was an essential part and will be part of our daily routine when we work on Spring applications.

Now let's look at what we've got in this chapter. This is a crucial chapter in this book; it provides you with ways to improve application performance. In this chapter, we will discuss the fundamental approach for application performance optimization, which is key for any application, including Spring-based applications. We'll discuss Spring's support for Java Management Extension (JMX), improvements in database interactions, and the performance tuning of Spring applications. By the end of this chapter, you will...
