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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about various bottlenecks which can cause performance issues. In particular, you need to focus on various areas such as CPU infrastructure, I/O operations, database operations, network utilization, and memory utilization. It is important to understand the type of operation your algorithm is performing. Based on that you need to optimize your code, so it wont take much of the resources.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the various troubleshooting and error handling techniques, logging, and then about thread dump and how to analyze it.
