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.

Optimizing Spring Messaging

In the previous chapter, we learned different advanced ways of accessing databases using object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks such as Hibernate. We also learned how to improve database access in an optimal way when using ORM. We looked into Spring Data to remove boilerplate code for implementing the Data Access Object (DAO) interface. At the end of the chapter, we saw the Hibernate best practices.

In this chapter, we will learn about Spring's support for messaging. Messaging is a very powerful technique that helps to scale the applications and also encourages us to decouple the architecture.

Spring Framework provides an extensive support to integrate the messaging system into our application with the simplified use of the Java Message Service (JMS) API to receive messages asynchronously. Messaging solutions can be used to send messages from...
