Java: High-Performance Apps with Java 9

By: Mayur Ramgir

Overview of this book

Java 9 which is one of the most popular application development languages. The latest released version Java 9 comes with a host of new features and new APIs with lots of ready to use components to build efficient and scalable applications. Streams, parallel and asynchronous processing, multithreading, JSON support, reactive programming, and microservices comprise the hallmark of modern programming and are now fully integrated into the JDK. This book focuses on providing quick, practical solutions to enhance your application's performance. You will explore the new features, APIs, and various tools added in Java 9 that help to speed up the development process. You will learn about jshell, Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation, and the basic threads related topics including sizing and synchronization. You will also explore various strategies for building microservices including container-less, self-contained, and in-container. This book is ideal for developers who would like to build reliable and high-performance applications with Java. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Java 9 High Performance by Mayur Ramgir and Nick Samoylov

Summary


In this lesson, we covered a lot of ground in the area of the new features introduced with Java 9. First, we looked at many ways to stream filtering, starting with the basic filter() method and ending up using the Stream API additions of JDK 9. Then, you learned a better way to analyze the stack trace using the new StackWalker class. The discussion was illustrated by specific examples that help you to see the real working code.

We used the same approach while presenting new convenient factory methods for creating immutable collections and new capabilities for asynchronous processing that came with the CompletableFuture class and its enhancements in JDK 9.

We ended this lesson by enumerating the improvements to the Stream API--those we have demonstrated in the filtering code examples and the new iterate() method.

With this, we come to the end of this book. You can now try and apply the tips and techniques you have learned to your project or, if it is not suitable for that, to build your...
