Thinking Through Java Enterprise Performance

Published on Sunday, 30 December 2012 14:13

Performance of Enterprise Java Applications is a requirement and usually a challenge. Improving performance by tuning the application after it has been built seldomly renders huge improvements. By taking a step back - or even two - and regarding the application and the performance from a distance, it becomes possible to really design and architect for performance. Order of magnitude improvements are attainable through logical reasoning and careful application of multi-tier architecture principles and JEE platform facilities.

In its essence, performance can be improved by a number of easy approaches that are discussed:
do not do it...
-at all
-more often than is necessary
-on your own
-immediately
-as per request (push)
-in too big or too small steps
-in a convoluted way
-in a suboptimal place

This session guides the audience through a few logical steps, using every day examples that are translated to JEE architecture facilities and design decisions. Attendees will look at their application architectures in a fresh way.
