About this ebook
Harness the full potential of your multi-core hardware with Building with Java Concurrency—your definitive guide to writing high-performance, resilient, and production-ready applications.
Are your applications freezing or slowing down under heavy load? Do subtle, hard-to-reproduce bugs like race conditions and deadlocks keep you up at night? Struggling to navigate complex asynchronous code with CompletableFuture and reactive streams? Feeling like you're not fully leveraging game-changing features like Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency?
Building with Java Concurrency was written for you. This guide goes beyond basic theory, providing a practical, expert-led roadmap through the complexities of multithreading, asynchronous programming, and performance optimization in modern Java.
With this guide, you will:
l l Master Core Concurrency: Move beyond basic synchronized blocks to master advanced tools like ReentrantLock, ReadWriteLock, Semaphore, and the full suite of concurrent collections to write fine-grained and efficient code.
l l Harness the Power of Modern Java: Confidently use the latest features from Project Loom, including Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency, and Scoped Values, to write simple, highly scalable, and maintainable I/O-bound applications.
l l Build Robust Asynchronous Pipelines: Learn to tame the complexity of asynchronous programming. Go from the limitations of Future to building elegant, non-blocking data pipelines with CompletableFuture.
l l Go from Correct to FAST: Learn the complete performance tuning workflow. Use profilers like JFR and VisualVM to diagnose bottlenecks, eliminate lock contention, and apply proven patterns to tune your applications for maximum throughput.
l Prevent and Debug Liveness Hazards: Gain the skills to identify, prevent, and diagnose nightmare scenarios like deadlocks, livelocks, and starvation using thread dumps and best practices.
l Apply Proven Design Patterns: Learn to architect your code using established concurrency patterns like Producer-Consumer, Active Object, and Two-Phase Termination for cleaner and more resilient designs.
l Building with Java Concurrency demystifies one of the most challenging but essential areas of software engineering. With proven techniques and modern best practices, you’ll have the tools and the confidence to design and build the next generation of high-performance Java applications.
