Book Description:
Building high performance into your applications is key to creating an optimal user experience, although it is not the only consideration for the performant nature of your apps. High performance applications can lead to cost-effective resource utilization, especially when scalability and cloud computing are involved. They can also provide highly reliable systems that are easier to maintain.
High Performance with Java begins by helping you explore the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and understand how to push it to its limits to further optimize your programs. You'll take a hands-on approach to go through memory optimization strategies, input/output operations, concurrency, networking, as well as frameworks and libraries focused on performance. You'll also learn key strategies and best practices by using industry-relevant examples to architect scalable and resource-efficient applications. The concluding chapters provide valuable insights on optimizing your Java code when interacting with databases and show you how to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for high performance Java applications.
By the end of this book, you'll grasp the importance of developing high performance Java applications and gain practical experience in implementing key strategies to help ensure your Java applications perform optimally.
What You Will Learn:
- Explore optimization strategies for garbage collection and the JIT compiler
- Discover best practices when using data structures for high performance
- Test and compare various approaches to using loops
- Understand how and when to use object pooling
- Discern the difference between low-performance and high-performance algorithms
- Uncover strategies for object creation and immutability to improve performance
- Gain hands-on experience in avoiding memory leaks
Who this book is for:
This book is for developers, software engineers, and software architects looking to take their Java skills to the next level. Aimed at individuals with a string grasp of Java fundamentals, this book is a practical guide to helping you write high-performing applications.
