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.

Database design for optimal performance

Nowadays, it is very easy to design a database with the help of modern tools and processes, but we must know that it is a very crucial part of our application and it directly impacts the application performance. Once an application has been implemented with an inaccurate database design, it's too late to fix it. We have no other option but to buy expensive hardware to cope with the problem. So, we should be aware of some of the basic concepts and best practices of database table design, database partitioning, and good indexing, which improve our application's performance. Let's see the fundamental rules and best practices for developing high-performance database applications.
