Great book

David A. Weitzel Jul 22, 2013

Liferay Portal Performance Best Practices is a book that has been missing for along time. It fills the gap between developing and administering Liferay Portal installations by focusing on how to configure the system for best performance.The book achieves this high rating by being well structured and extremely easy to follow. When alternatives are available he covers this without being sidetracked from a particular chapter or section focus, usually then covering the details of the alternative in a later section. One good example of this is the use of SOLR search engine instead of the default and included Lucene.This is the first book that I have been able to read and comprehend easily in terms of how to set up load balancing and clustering and all the relevant connections needed to ensure cache and content is updated, once again covering the popular alternatives to standard out of the box Liferay.In chapter 3 the author covers many of the standard Liferay property settings and describes why they are there and hot to configure or turn them off if not needed, in order to get better performance. Settings such as the auto logins, url filters and so on. This chapter by itself is worth the money in that it serves as a check list of your portal.properties file for operational running and not development.The final chapter covers performance monitoring especially when doing load testing using scripted test engines but also to help identify bottlenecks in live operation. It is by no means an in depth instruction on the tools used but give the reader enough to get started and then look up individual reference books for more options and interpretation.In summary this should be essential reading for all staff responsible for deploying and supporting live Liferay installations.

Glad to be reviewer of this book. Samir Bhatt, author of the book has put his best efforts to share his knowledge in the domain. Book contents very precised areas of best practices and several approaches.

It is a great book that every architect or developer should read before install a Liferay-based solution, especially if it is a solution with many users. All key points are compiled in one place and there are various tips that can be applied to many general Java applications.
