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.

Spring Hibernate configuration

We know that Hibernate is a persistence framework that provides relationship mapping between objects and database tables and that it has rich features to improve performance and the optimal use of resources such as caching, eager and lazy loading, event listeners, and so on.

The Spring Framework provides full support to integrate many persistence ORM frameworks, and so does Hibernate. Here, we will see Spring with JPA, using Hibernate as a persistence provider. Also, we will see Spring Data with the JPA repository using Hibernate.

Spring with JPA using Hibernate

As we know, JPA is not an implementation; it is the specification for persistence. The Hibernate framework follows all of the specifications...
