Who this book is for
This book is for anyone interested in what performance tuning is all about and how to do it using Java technologies, the WildFly Application Server, and other Open Source software.
The first chapter should be considered a compulsory read for anyone working anywhere near any form of IT, project and business managers included!
Chapter 2, Tools of the Tuning Trade, and Chapter 3, Tuning the Java Virtual Machine, are very useful for anyone working with Java technologies.
From Chapter 4, Tuning WildFly, and forward, the content in this book turns toward developers and architects that need to tune WildFly and the different layers of the Java EE stack.
The final chapter is for those who (think they) need to cluster, and tune their clustered environment.
In general, you will probably need to be a seasoned developer or software architect in order to take in everything from this book. However, the book has been designed so that you, as a reader, can target the area you are interested in, or have a need for, at the moment. The book will grow with you, and you with the book.
