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.

Summary

In this chapter, we got a clear idea of the Spring MVC module and learned about different configuration methods. We also learned about the Spring asynchronous processing concept, with CompletableFeature implementation. After that, we went through the Spring Security module and learned about configuration. We also understood the authentication part of Spring Security with the stateless API. Then, we went through the monitoring part of Tomcat with JMX. At the end, we looked at Spring MVC performance improvements.

In the next chapter, we will learn about Spring database interaction. We will start with Spring JDBC configuration with optimal database design and configuration. Then, we will go through the optimal connection pooling configuration. We will also cover the concept of @Transactional for performance improvement. Finally, we will go through database design best practices...
