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.

Summary

This chapter started with insightful details on Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, microservices, and all of these together. We covered the details of Spring Initializr, Spring Boot starter projects, and learned how to create our first Spring Boot application. Then, we learned about the Spring Boot Actuator and the production-grade features provided by the Actuator. The details on the application health checks and endpoints are important for production-ready applications.

Later in the chapter, we migrated to the world of microservices. We learned how Spring Boot can leverage features for the benefit of building microservices. We developed a microservice with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud with support for externalized configurations. We also looked at the integration of the Spring Boot admin for monitoring Spring Boot applications. Last but not least, we learned a few techniques...
