In response to the ubiquity of cloud computing, this updated edition of Optimizing Cloud Native Java addresses topics that are key to high performance of Java applications in the cloud. Many resources on performance tend to focus on the theory and internals of Java virtual machines, but this book discusses the low-level technical aspects within the context of performance-tuning practicalities and examines a wide range of aspects.
With this book, you will
Learn how Java principles and technology make the best use of modern hardware, operating systems, and cloud stacks
Examine the pitfalls of measuring Java performance numbers and the drawbacks of microbenchmarking
Understand how to package, deploy, operate, and debug Java/JVM applications in modern cloud environments
Apply emerging observability approaches to obtain deep understanding of cloud native applications
Use Java language performance techniques including concurrent and distributed forms
