Hypersistence Optimizer initial release
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect if you are using JPA and Hibernate properly. Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool!
Introduction
At the end of 2018, I got this idea of writing a tool which can automatically detect JPA and Hibernate issues by scanning your data access layer and provide you optimization tips.
At the beginning of February, Thodoris Chaikalis surprised me with this Facebook comment which reinforced the idea that having such a tool would be really awesome for Java developers working with JPA and Hibernate.
At the end of February, I got some time off, and I started working on it, and the reaction on social media exceeded my expectations:
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect if you are using @Java Persistence and #Hibernate properly.

No more performance issues, no more silly mistakes that can cost you a lot of time and money.
Soon, you can have this tool. Stay tuned for more details! pic.twitter.com/CRYx4tVPif
Today, I’m happy to announce to you that the initial version is ready.
Hypersistence Optimizer has finally arrived!
Why you should avoid EXTRA Lazy Collections with Hibernate

Introduction
In this article, you are going to learn why using EXTRA Lazy Collections with Hibernate is a bad idea since it can lead to N+1 query issues and cause performance problems.
The reason I wanted to write this article is that I keep seeing it mentioned in StackOverflow or the Hibernate forum.

How does the entity version property work when using JPA and Hibernate
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect if you are using JPA and Hibernate properly. Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool!
Introduction
In this article, I’m going to show you how the JPA @Version entity property works when using Hibernate.
The most significant benefit of adding a version property to a JPA entity is that we can prevent the lost update anomaly, therefore ensuring that data integrity is not compromised.
How do JPA persist, merge and Hibernate save, update, saveOrUpdate methods work
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect if you are using JPA and Hibernate properly. Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool!
Introduction
In this article, I’m going to show you how the JPA persist and merge work and how do they compare with the Hibernate save, update, and saveOrUpdate methods.
Although you should favor the JPA-based entity state transition methods, you are going to see that the Hibernate-specific update is actually a good alternative to merge when you want to reduce the number of SQL queries being executed during a batch processing task.
How to log the database transaction id using MDC (Mapped Diagnostic Context)
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect if you are using JPA and Hibernate properly. Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool!
Introduction
In this article, I’m going to show you how you can log the database transaction id associated with a given SQL statement using the MDC (Mapped Diagnostic Context) feature offered by many logging frameworks.
If you are writing data access code, you have to use logging. As I explained in this article, using a JDBC proxy tool like datasource-proxy or p6spy is the best approach to logging SQL statements.
With
datasource-proxy, you can easily build a JUnit extension to automatically detect N+1 query issues. For more details, check out the db-util open-source project.
Since JPA and Hibernate generate SQL statements on your behalf based on the entity state transitions executed by the data access layer, using logging is mandatory as you need to acknowledge that the auto-generated SQL statements are both effective and efficient.
