Java Performance Engineering: Profiling and Optimizing Enterprise Applications

Unlock the full potential of your enterprise Java applications with Java Performance Engineering—the definitive guide to profiling, tuning, and optimizing performance-critical systems. Whether you're building high-throughput services, real-time APIs, or scalable backend architectures, this hands-on book equips you with the tools and techniques to deliver blazing-fast, reliable Java applications at scale.

Learn to identify performance bottlenecks with precision using industry-standard profilers like JFR, JMC, VisualVM, and async-profiler. Master JVM internals, garbage collection tuning, thread and memory diagnostics, and optimize code paths without sacrificing maintainability. With real-world case studies, low-level tuning strategies, and production-grade insights, this book bridges the gap between code and performance.

Whether you're a seasoned engineer or a performance-conscious architect, Java Performance Engineering is your essential companion for building Java systems that are fast, efficient, and ready for the demands of modern enterprise workloads.

Key topics include:

• JVM deep dive: GC, JIT, and memory management

• CPU, heap, and thread profiling techniques

• Benchmarking and load testing with JMH and Gatling

• Latency tuning, throughput maximization, and GC optimization

• Performance anti-patterns and how to avoid them

• Real-world profiling scenarios and optimization workflows
