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 assessment with different configurations

In this section, we will learn how different types of bean configuration impact application performance, and also we will see the best practices of bean configuration.

Let's see how the @ComponentScan annotation configuration impacts the startup time of a Spring application:

@ComponentScan (( {{ "org", "com" }} ))

As per the preceding configuration, Spring will scan all the packages of com and org and, because of that, the startup time of the application will be increased. So, we should scan only those packages that have annotated classes, as non-annotated classes will take time to scan. We should use only one @ComponentScan and list all packages, as shown here:

@ComponentScan(basePackages={"com.packt.springhighperformance.ch2.bankingapp.model","com.packt.springhighperformance.ch2.bankingapp...
