ConcurrentHashMap is used extensively in multi-threaded applications. The examples of multi-threaded applications are online gaming applications, chat applications, it adds the benefit of concurrency to the application. To make application more concurrent in nature, ConcurrentHashMap introduces a concept called ‘Parallelism’. In this article we will learn more about parallelism in ConcurrentHashMap. What is Parallelism? Basically,... Continue Reading →
I am slightly hesitant to write this post, as it might attract some criticism. Nevertheless, I told myself there is nothing wrong with sharing my point of view (even though it might not be well accepted). I would like to share my personal experience regarding yesterday's Monolithic and today's Microservice architecture in this post. Yesterday's... Continue Reading →
Java applications tend to contain hundreds (sometimes thousands) of threads. The majority of these threads are in WAITING, TIMED_WAITING (i.e., dormant) state, while only a small portion of the threads are actively executing lines of code. So, we were curious to know whether dormant threads consume less memory than active threads. To figure out an... Continue Reading →
If you want to learn about the architecture of the application, performance characteristics of the application, effectiveness of the engineering organization - lot of times (if not all the times), we will look at the Word documents, PowerPoint decks, Excel spreadsheets that have been put together by the engineers/managers/executives of that application. In these artifacts... Continue Reading →
