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.

Performance issue symptoms

Let's start with performance issue symptoms. This is an obvious place to start, as it's like consulting a doctor where symptoms are discussed and then a diagnosis is made. Application performance is the behavior experienced by the end users in terms of speed, accuracy in delivering the content, and average response times under the highest load. The load is referred to by the number of transactions processed by the application per unit time. The response times are the times required for an application to respond to a user's actions at such a load.

Whenever performance needs an improvement, the first thing that comes to mind is the problems that are affecting the performance of our application. To find the issues with performance, we need to look for certain symptoms that can lead us to the issue.
