Summary : Troubleshoot the most widespread and pernicious Java performance problems using a set of open-source and freely-available tools that will make you dramatically more productive in finding the root causes of slow performance. This is a brief book that focuses on a small number of performance anti-patterns, and you’ll find that most problems you encounter fit into one of these anti-patterns. The book provides a specific method in a series of steps referred to as the “P.A.t.h. Checklist” that encompasses persistence, alien systems, threads, and heap management. These steps guide you through a troubleshooting process that is repeatable, that you can apply to any performance problem in a Java application. This technique is especially helpful in 'dark' environments with little monitoring. Performance problems are not always localized to Java, but often fall into the realms of database access and server load. This book gives attention to both of these issues through examples showing how to identify repetitive SQL, and identify architecture-wide performance problems ahead of production rollout. Learn how to apply load like an expert, and determine how much load to apply to determine whether your system scales. Included are walk-throughs of a dozen server-side performance puzzles that are ready to run on your own machine. Following these examples helps you learn to: Assess the performance health of four main problems areas in a Java system: The P.A.t.h. Checklist presents each area with its own set of plug-it-in-now tools Pinpoint the code at fault for CPU and other bottlenecks without a Java profiler Find memory leaks in just minutes using heapSpank, the author's open-source leak detector utility that is freely available from heapSpank.org The repeatable method provided in this book is an antidote to lackluster average response times that are multi-second throughout the industry. This book provides a long absent, easy-to-follow, performance training regimen that will benefit anyone programming in Java. What You'll Learn Avoid the 6 most common ways to mess up a load test Determine the exact number of threads to dial into the load generator to test your system's scalability Detect the three most common SQL performance anti-patterns Measure network response times of calls to back-end systems ('alien systems') Identify whether garbage collection performance is healthy or unhealthy and whether delays are caused by problems in the old or new generation, so you know which generation needs to be adjusted Who This Book Is For Intermediate and expert Java developers and architects. Java experts will be able to update their skill set with the latest and most productive, open-source Java performance tools. Intermediate Java developers are exposed to the most common performance defects that repeatedly show up in Java applications, ones that account for the bulk of slow-performing systems. Experts and intermediates alike will benefit from the chapters on load generation.

Summary : Effectively reading and understanding existing code is a developer’s superpower. In this book, you’ll master techniques for code profiling, advanced debugging, and log evaluation to find and fix bugs and performance problems. In Troubleshooting Java: Read, debug, and optimize JVM applications you will learn how to: Determine what code does the first time you see it Expose code logic problems Evaluate heap dumps to find memory leaks Monitor CPU consumption to optimize execution Use thread dumps to find and solve deadlocks Easily follow a service-oriented or microservices system Properly use logging to better understand Java app execution Use Java debuggers efficiently Searching for bugs, detangling messy legacy code, or evaluating your codebase for new features sucks up much of a developer's time. Troubleshooting Java: Read, debug, and optimize JVM applications teaches code investigation techniques that will help you efficiently understand how Java apps work, how to optimize them, and how to fix the bugs that break them. You’ll go from the basics of debugging to advanced methods for locating problems in microservices architectures, and save yourself hours—or even days—of time. Each new technique is explained with lively illustrations and engaging real-world examples. About the technology Fact: Over the course of your career, you’ll spend far more time reading code than you will writing it. The code investigation skills in this book will radically improve your efficiency in understanding and improving Java applications. About the book Troubleshooting Java: Read, debug, and optimize JVM applications presents practical techniques for exploring and repairing unfamiliar code. In it, you’ll learn timesaving practices for discovering hidden dependencies, discovering the root causes of crashes, and interpreting unexpected results. Go beyond profiling and debugging and start understanding how Java applications really work. What's inside Determine what code does the first time you see it Evaluate heap dumps to find memory leaks Monitor CPU consumption to optimize execution Use thread dumps to find and solve deadlocks Uncover glitches in code logic Locate intermittent runtime problems About the reader For intermediate Java developers. About the author Laurentiu Spilca is a skilled Java and Spring developer and an experienced technology instructor. He is the author of Spring Start Here and Spring Security in Action. Table of Contents PART 1 - THE BASICS OF INVESTIGATING A CODEBASE 1 Revealing an app’s obscurities 2 Understanding your app’s logic through debugging techniques 3 Finding problem root causes using advanced debugging techniques 4 Debugging apps remotely 5 Making the most of logs: Auditing an app’s behavior PART 2 - DEEP ANALYSIS OF AN APP’S EXECUTION 6 Identifying resource consumption problems using profiling techniques 7 Finding hidden issues using profiling techniques 8 Using advanced visualization tools for profiled data 9 Investigating locks in multithreaded architectures 10 Investigating deadlocks with thread dumps 11 Finding memory-related issues in an app’s execution PART 3 - FINDING PROBLEMS IN LARGE SYSTEMS 12 Investigating apps’ behaviors in large systems
