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 →
The Spring Boot Buggy API offers a valuable platform to simulate various performance issues in your applications. By intentionally creating problems like DB connection leaks, memory leaks, CPU spikes, and more, you can assess your system's resilience and evaluate the effectiveness of performance tools. Fig 1: SpringBoot Buggy API - Performance Issue Simulator Buggy Api... Continue Reading →
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 →
In the series of chaos engineering articles, we have been learning to simulate various performance problems. In this post, let’s discuss how to simulate the ‘StackOverflow errors. StackOverflow error is a runtime error, which is thrown when a thread's stack size exceeds its allocated memory limit. Sample Program Here is a sample program from the... Continue Reading →
