Spring Boot is a widely used framework for building highly transactional Java-based web applications and backend systems. These applications process heavy loads and are often multi-threaded, requiring performance analysis for efficient resource utilization. Spring Boot applications can suffer from Deadlock problem, which can bring the entire application to grinding halt. This blog discusses the troubleshooting... Continue Reading →
Shenandoah GC aims to reduce pause times in Java applications by performing garbage collection concurrently with the application threads. At the heart of Shenandoah's innovation is its region-based memory management. The heap is strategically divided into regions, allowing garbage collection to be conducted independently on these segments. This not only facilitates efficient parallelism but also...

In this article, we'll delve into how Virtual Threads can enhance your application's performance and scalability, all while keeping thread management overhead very minimal. Let's embark on this journey to harness the full potential of... Continue Reading →
Java Concurrent Mark & Sweep (CMS) algorithm operates by dividing the garbage collection process into multiple phases, concurrently marking and sweeping the memory regions without a significant pause. While its design brings benefits in terms of reduced pause times, it also introduces unique challenges that demand careful tuning and optimization. In this post, we will... Continue Reading →
Tailored for simplicity and effectiveness, the Serial GC operates with a single-threaded approach, making it particularly relevant for smaller-scale applications and scenarios where stringent latency requirements aren't the primary concern. In this post, we will explore techniques to tune Serial GC for enhanced performance specifically. However, if you want to learn more basics, you may... 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...

The Java Virtual Machine enables Java applications to be platform-independent while optimizing performance. One crucial component to understand, when considering performance, especially memory utilization, is how the Java Collections Framework, specifically the ArrayList, handles size and capacity. In this article, we will concentrate on the overhead caused by lists that contain two or three elements.... Continue Reading →
In Java, the finalize method has been part of the language since its early days, offering a mechanism to perform cleanup activities before an object is garbage collected. However, using finalizers has come under scrutiny due to several performance-related concerns. As of Java 9, the finalize method has been deprecated, and its use is highly... Continue Reading →
In this article, we are going to compare the performance of Garbage Collection(GC) of OpenJDK and GraalVM. The GraalVM is a popular open source JVM implementation in Java with a capability to run applications as native images. Apart from that, it has got other functionalities such as fast loading time, compacted memory usages,etc. Let’s compare the... Continue Reading →
