Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

By: Mehta, Subhash Shah, 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.

Spring Boot configuration

In this section, we will focus on making Spring Boot work for us. Before jumping on to Spring Boot configuration, we will understand what Spring Boot is, why we should use it, and what Spring Boot brings to the table. We will move quickly to the how to do it part of it.

What is Spring Boot?

It is necessary for software development processes to be faster, more accurate, and more robust. Software teams are asked to develop quick prototypes for showcasing the application's features to prospective clients. The same applies to production-grade applications. The following are a few areas where software architects focus on to improve the effectiveness of development teams:

  • Use the right set of tools...
