Summary

This chapter explored various optimization frameworks and techniques to help increase the performance of our Java applications, support scalability, make our code more maintainable, and provide efficient development cycles. We covered asynchronous input/output, buffered input/output, batch operations, frameworks for microservices, and frameworks for cloud-native applications. We concluded the chapter with a review of two realistic case studies and an overview of performance analysis.

Hopefully, the comprehensive overview provided in this chapter will help you further optimize your Java applications. The frameworks and techniques covered in this chapter can help you enhance the performance of your applications and increase scalability, consistency, reliability, and maintainability.

In the next chapter (Chapter 13, Performance-Focused Libraries), we will explore several open source Java libraries designed to provide high performance. These fully optimized libraries can...
