Master Parallel and Asynchronous Java Programming
Unlock the power of high-performance Java with this comprehensive course on parallel streams and CompletableFuture. You'll gain practical, hands-on experience writing efficient, scalable code for modern applications. Become fluent in asynchronous programming and optimize your Java applications for speed and responsiveness.
What You'll Learn:
- Introduction to Parallel and Asynchronous Programming: Understand the fundamental concepts driving modern software development and the evolution of concurrency APIs in Java. Differentiate between concurrency and parallelism.
- Project Setup: Establish a solid foundation with a structured project setup for all course exercises.
- Threads, Future, ForkJoin Framework: Explore the core building blocks of concurrency, including Threads, the Future API, and the ForkJoin Framework. Understand their limitations, which will pave the way for more advanced techniques.
- Parallel Streams:
- Get started with Parallel Streams and implement simple examples.
- Deep dive into the Streams API and Parallel Streams.
- Build a practical Retail Checkout Application leveraging Parallel Streams.
- Understand the internal workings of Parallel Streams.
- Compare performance across different collections using Parallel Streams.
- Master terminal operators like
CollectandReducein Streams API and Parallel Streams. - Identify and avoid performance pitfalls with Parallel Streams.
- Explore the Threading Model and Common ForkJoin Pool behind Parallel Streams.
- Configure thread pools for optimal performance.
- Learn when and when not to use Parallel Streams.
- CompletableFuture:
- Introduction to the CompletableFuture API and its core functions.
- Explore key CompletableFuture functions.
- Build a ProductService application using CompletableFuture.
- Combine Streams with CompletableFuture to enhance application capabilities (e.g., enhancing the ProductService with an InventoryService).
- Implement robust exception handling and recovery techniques with
handle(),exceptionally(), andwhenComplete(). Understand the nuances of each approach and when to apply them. - Apply exception handling in practical scenarios within the ProductService, ProductInfoService, ReviewService, and InventoryService.
- Utilize ThreadPool options with CompletableFuture, including the default Common ForkJoin ThreadPool and custom thread pool configurations.
- Leverage Async() methods to control thread execution within CompletableFuture pipelines.
- Build a RESTful API client using Spring WebClient and integrate with CompletableFuture for improved API performance.
- Handling Multiple CompletableFutures: Learn to manage multiple asynchronous operations effectively using
allOf()andanyOf().
