Performance tuning is an experimental science, but that doesn't mean engineers should resort to guesswork and folklore to get the job done. Yet that's often the case. With this practical book, intermediate to advanced Java technologists working with complex platforms will learn how to tune Java cloud applications for performance using a quantitative, verifiable, and repeatable approach.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 stacksExamine the pitfalls of measuring Java performance numbers and the drawbacks of microbenchmarkingUnderstand how to package, deploy, operate, and debug Java/JVM applications in modern cloud environmentsApply emerging observability approaches to obtain deep understanding of cloud native applicationsUse Java language performance techniques including concurrent and distributed forms

This updated edition of the Nutshell guide not only helps experienced Java programmers get the most out of versions through Java 17, it also serves as a learning path for new developers. Chock-full of examples that demonstrate how to take complete advantage of modern Java APIs and development best practices, this thoroughly revised book includes new material on recent enhancements to the Java object model that every developer should know about.The first section provides a fast-paced, no-fluff introduction to the Java programming language and the core runtime aspects of the Java platform. The second section is a reference to core concepts and APIs that explains how to perform real programming work in the Java environment.Get up to speed on language details through Java 17Learn object-oriented programming using basic Java syntaxExplore generics, enumerations, annotations, and lambda expressionsUnderstand techniques used in object-oriented designExamine how concurrency and memory are intertwinedWork with Java collections and handle common data formatsDelve into Java's latest I/O APIs including asynchronous channelsBecome familiar with development tools in OpenJDK
