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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the concept of messaging. We also went through the advantages of using messaging systems. We learned about AMQP. We went through the needs of AMQP by understanding the JMS API problem. We also saw the differences between AMQP and the JMS API. We learned about the exchanges, queues, and binding related to AMQP. We also went through the setup aspect of RabbitMQ and different configurations related to the Spring application.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the cover core concept of Java threads and then we will move to the advanced thread support provided by the java.util.concurrent package. We will also go through the various classes and interfaces of java.util.concurrent. We will learn how we can use Java thread pool to improve performance. We will walk through useful functionality provided by the Spring framework, such as task...
