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.
High Performance with MongoDB. Best practices for performance tuning, scaling, and architecture
Asya Kamsky, Ger Hartnett, Alex Bevilacqua, MongoDB...
With data as the new competitive edge, performance has become the need of the hour. As applications handle exponentially growing data and user demand for speed and reliability rises, three industry experts distill their decades of experience to offer you guidance on designing, building, and operating databases that deliver fast, scalable, and resilient experiences.MongoDB’s document model and distributed architecture provide powerful tools for modern applications, but unlocking their full potential requires a deep understanding of architecture, operational patterns, and tuning best practices. This MongoDB book takes a hands-on approach to diagnosing common performance issues and applying proven optimization strategies from schema design and indexing to storage engine tuning and resource management.Whether you’re optimizing a single replica set or scaling a sharded cluster, this book provides the tools to maximize deployment performance. Its modular chapters let you explore query optimization, connection management, and monitoring or follow a complete learning path to build a rock-solid performance foundation. With real-world case studies, code examples, and proven best practices, you’ll be ready to troubleshoot bottlenecks, scale efficiently, and keep MongoDB running at peak performance in even the most demanding production environments.
