In this article, we’ll learn how to improve the performance of the applications that tend to use most of the space due to extensive usage of Strings. There’s no need to store more than one instance of immutable objects in our heap, and String is a good example. Object Allocation Let’s briefly refresh the information... Continue Reading →
One of the widely wasted resources in the world today is: Memory. Due to inefficient programming, surprising (sometimes ‘shocking’) amount of memory is wasted. We see this pattern repeated in several enterprise applications. To prove this case, we conducted a small study. We analyzed the famous spring boot pet clinic application to see how much memory it is... Continue Reading →
In early 1970s 1 MB was costing 1 million $. Now 1 mb is costing fraction of that cost. There is no comparison. This is one of the reasons why engineers and enterprises don't worry about memory any more. 1 million $ in 1970s might be equivalent of several millions of dollars’ worth today. Thus,...
