High-Performance Java Persistence Newsletter, Issue 45
Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect JPA and Hibernate performance issues. Wouldn’t that be just awesome?
Well, Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool! And it works with Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Quarkus, or Play Framework.
So, enjoy spending your time on the things you love rather than fixing performance issues in your production system on a Saturday night!
Introduction
Welcome to a new issue of the High-Performance Java Persistence Newsletter in which we share articles, videos, workshops, and StackOverflow answers that are very relevant to any developer who interacts with a database system using Java.
Articles
The pick of this edition is this article that celebrates the Spring 6 release, as well as this one about the Spring Boot 3 new version.
Related to Spring, I published three new articles on my blog:
- The best way to do the Spring 6 migration
- The Spring Data JPA findById Anti-Pattern
- Spring Data JPA entity locking
YugabyteDB is a very good database system alternative to PostgreSQL, as illustrated by this article about the Batched Nested Loop join.
Since Spring 6 comes with Hibernate 6, you should know that you can now use UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT in JPQL and Criteria API queries.
Videos
I uploaded a new video on YouTube about the best way to fetch entities with JPA and Hibernate:
