Hypersistence Optimizer initial release

Are you struggling with performance issues in your Spring, Jakarta EE, or Java EE application?

Imagine having a tool that could automatically detect performance issues in your JPA and Hibernate data access layer long before pushing a problematic change into production!

With the widespread adoption of AI agents generating code in a heartbeat, having such a tool that can watch your back and prevent performance issues during development, long before they affect production systems, can save your company a lot of money and make you a hero!

Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool, and it works with Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Quarkus, Micronaut, or Play Framework.

So, rather than allowing performance issues to annoy your customers, you are better off preventing those issues using Hypersistence Optimizer and enjoying spending your time on the things that you love!

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.

Facebook Comment about a tool like Hypersistence Optimizer

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:

Today, I’m happy to announce to you that the initial version is ready.

Hypersistence Optimizer has finally arrived!

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

Are you struggling with performance issues in your Spring, Jakarta EE, or Java EE application?

Imagine having a tool that could automatically detect performance issues in your JPA and Hibernate data access layer long before pushing a problematic change into production!

With the widespread adoption of AI agents generating code in a heartbeat, having such a tool that can watch your back and prevent performance issues during development, long before they affect production systems, can save your company a lot of money and make you a hero!

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

Are you struggling with performance issues in your Spring, Jakarta EE, or Java EE application?

Imagine having a tool that could automatically detect performance issues in your JPA and Hibernate data access layer long before pushing a problematic change into production!

With the widespread adoption of AI agents generating code in a heartbeat, having such a tool that can watch your back and prevent performance issues during development, long before they affect production systems, can save your company a lot of money and make you a hero!

Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool, and it works with Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Quarkus, Micronaut, or Play Framework.

So, rather than allowing performance issues to annoy your customers, you are better off preventing those issues using Hypersistence Optimizer and enjoying spending your time on the things that you love!

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 Hypersistence Utils 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.

Introduction

In this article, you are going to learn the best way to call a stored procedure when using JPA and Hibernate so that the underlying JDBC resources are released as soon as possible.

I decided to write this article since the way Hibernate handles stored procedures can lead to ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded issues on Oracle as explained in this Hibernate forum thread or StackOverflow question.

Introduction

In this article, I want to show you how you can map a String JPA property to a JSON database column using the Hypersistence Utils open-source project.

Although it’s probably more common to use a JsonNode or POJO (Plain Old Java Object) on the Java side, the Hypersistence Utils framework is very flexible and allows you to use a String JPA property type to represent a JSON structure.
