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.

Transaction management

A database transaction is a critical part of any application. A database transaction is a sequence of actions that are treated as a single unit of work. These actions should either be completed entirely or take no effect at all. The management of the sequence of actions is known as transaction management. Transaction management is an important part of any RDBMS-oriented enterprise applications, to ensure data integrity and consistency. The concept of transactions can be described with four key properties: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID).

Transactions are described as ACID, which stands for the following:

  • Atomicity: A transaction should be treated as a single unit of operation, which means that either the entire sequence of operations is completed, or it takes no effect at all
  • Consistency: Once a transaction is completed and committed...
