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.

Multithreading and Concurrent Programming

In the previous chapter, we learned how we can optimize Spring messaging. We also learned various configuration tips and tricks that help us to improve the performance of our application. We also looked at the monitoring and configuration of JMS and RabbitMQ for optimal performance.

In this chapter, we will cover the core concept of Java threads and then will move to advanced thread support provided by the java.util.concurrent package. For this package, we will see various classes and interfaces that help us write multithreaded and concurrent programming. We will also learn how we can use Java ThreadPool to improve performance. We will walk through useful functionalities provided by the Spring Framework, such as task executing, scheduling, and running as asynchronous. Finally, we will look into Spring transaction management with threads...
