This article talks about a common problem with Spring Boot applications: database connection leaks. These leaks happen when connections aren't closed properly, which can slow down the system or even cause it to crash. The article sheds some light on how one can find and fix these leaks by looking at errors and network metrics and also suggests solutions like try-with-resources and connection pools to stop leaks from happening in the first place.
This post explains how to diagnose CPU spike problems that surfaces in the Spring Boot applications.
This post discusses diagnosing and troubleshooting StackOverflowError in Spring Boot applications, which occurs when thread stack size exceeds memory limits due to infinite recursion or excessive stack calls. It demonstrates simulating this error using BuggyAPI and employs the yCrash tool for analysis, providing resolutions such as proper termination in recursive methods and increasing stack memory.
Spring Boot is a framework for creating Java web applications, but it can experience thread leaks, leading to performance issues. A thread leak occurs when threads retain references after execution, causing resource exhaustion. Proper thread management, including termination, use of thread pools, and handling exceptions, is crucial for preventing leaks and ensuring system stability.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for developing Java web applications that often encounter thread deadlocks, halting performance. This blog discusses deadlock causes, examples, and troubleshooting techniques using the yCrash tool. Solutions include timeout locks, utilizing concurrency utilities, and avoiding nested locks to mitigate deadlock issues effectively.
The Spring Boot Buggy API is an open-source tool for simulating various performance issues like memory leaks and CPU spikes in applications. By testing these scenarios, developers can assess system resilience and evaluate performance monitoring tools. It allows easy invocation of specific problems to analyze system behavior and improve software robustness.
All modern applications connect with storage, such as a database or cache. Database connection leak is commonly observed in modern applications, which can result in connection leaks that can lead to production outages. In our series of chaos engineering articles, we have been learning how to simulate various performance problems. In this post, let's discuss... Continue Reading →
Many Java applications still use files for importing and exporting data. If the connections to these files are not properly managed, it can lead to a significant number of connections leaking, causing the application to slow down or even crash. In our series of chaos engineering articles, we have been learning how to simulate various... Continue Reading →
SpringBoot is a widely used framework for building Java-based web applications and maintains a significant presence in the world of enterprise software development. It powers large-scale microservices and standalone applications. Most SpringBoot applications have embedded web servers and follow a distributed architecture consisting of three main types of application components: Backend: API services Backend: Event...
