The best way to prevent JPA and Hibernate performance issues

Last modified:

Introduction

In this article, I’m going to present the best way to prevent performance issues when using JPA and Hibernate.

Many years ago, I used to work as a team leader, and, one day, the General Manager asked me to take a look at a project that was in big trouble.

The application in question had been developed by a team of software developers for over 9 months, and the client had just tested in a production-like environment.

The client got very upset when realizing that the application was barely crawling. For instance, I was told that a query had been running for 10 hours without showing any signs of stopping.

After analyzing the project, I identified many areas that could have been improved, and that’s how my passion for high-performance data access was born.

Introduction

In this article, I’m going to show you how to migrate from the legacy hilo sequence-based identifier optimizer to the pooled Hibernate strategy.

I decided to write this article after having a discussion with Gerd Aschemann on Twitter about addressing the HHH-13783 Hibernate issue.

Last modified:

Follow @vlad_mihalcea

Introduction

The 2PL (Two-Phase Locking) algorithm is one of the oldest concurrency control mechanisms used by relational database systems to guarantee data integrity.

In this article, I’m going to explain how the 2PL algorithm works and how you can implement it in any programming language.

Bulk update optimistic locking with JPA and Hibernate

Last modified:

Follow @vlad_mihalcea

Introduction

In this article, we are going to see how we can adjust a bulk update statement so that it takes optimistic locking into consideration.

While Hibernate has been supporting versioned HQL queries for a very long time, it’s actually very easy to achieve this goal even with standard JPQL or JPA Criteria API.

Introduction

In this article, we are going to see how to implement a non-trivial consistency check using a PostgreSQL INSERT and UPDATE trigger.

By using a database trigger after executing an INSERT or UPDATE, we can ensure that the sum of salaries in a given department does not exceed the maximum budget allocated for the given department.

Spring Boot performance tuning

Last modified:

Follow @vlad_mihalcea

Introduction

While developing a Spring Boot application is rather easy, tuning the performance of a Spring Boot application is a more challenging task, as, not only it requires you to understand how the Spring framework works behind the scenes, but you have to know what is the best way to use the underlying data access framework, like Hibernate for instance.

In a previous article, I showed you how easily to optimize the performance of the Petclinic demo application. However, by default, the Petclinic Spring Boot application uses the in-memory HSQLDB database, which is not what you’d usually want your application to be optimized for.

In this article, we are going to switch the underlying database from the in-memory HSQLDB to MySQL and run Hypersistence Optimizer to generate a performance tuning report for the JPA and Hibernate data access layer in the context of the MySQL database.

The best way to fetch multiple entities by id using JPA and Hibernate

Last modified:

Follow @vlad_mihalcea

Introduction

In this article, we are going to see how we can load multiple entities by id at once when using JPA and Hibernate.

Loading multiple entities by their identifier is a very common requirement when using JPA and Hibernate. Hence, we are going to see how we can optimize the underlying SQL query execution.
