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.

Monitoring microservices with Spring Boot admin

Spring Boot admin is an application that facilitates monitoring and managing of Spring Boot applications. The latest version of the Spring Boot admin application is not yet compatible with Spring 2.0.0. For the purpose of examples showcased in this section, we have used the Spring Boot 1.5.11 snapshot. The Spring Boot admin version is 1.5.4.

The Spring Boot client applications register themselves with the Spring Boot admin application via HTTP. It is also possible that admin applications discover client applications using the Spring Cloud Eureka discovery service. The Spring Boot admin user interface is built in AngularJS over Actuator endpoints.

That should be enough for the introduction part as examples will provide more insight. Let's build the Spring Boot admin server first.
