High Performance with Java: Discover strategies and best practices to develop high performance Java applications

Description

Take your Java programming skills to the next level and learn to overcome real-world challenges to optimize application performanceKey FeaturesLeverage key features of the Java Virtual Machine to maximize runtime performanceUnlock optimization strategies to effectively manage objects and memory useApply your knowledge to utilize frameworks and libraries ripe for increasing program performanceBook DescriptionBuilding 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 learnExplore optimization strategies for garbage collection and the JIT compilerDiscover best practices when using data structures for high performanceTest and compare various approaches to using loopsUnderstand how and when to use object poolingDiscern the difference between low-performance and high-performance algorithmsUncover strategies for object creation and immutability to improve performanceGain hands-on experience in avoiding memory leaksWho this book is forThis book is for developers, software engineers, and software architects looking to take their Java skills to the next level.
