Imagine having a tool that can automatically detect JPA and Hibernate performance issues. Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool!
High-Performance Hibernate Tutorial
I’ve been using Hibernate for almost a decade and I admit it was not an easy journey. These tutorials are snippets from my High-Performance Java Persistence book, whose main goal is to show you how to make your data access layer run a high-speeds.
This material is useful for both beginners and experienced developers, so enjoy reading it.
