SpringBoot is a popular framework for Java web applications, facing performance challenges like memory, thread, CPU, and system issues. Effective tuning and monitoring with tools like yCrash can identify and resolve these bottlenecks, enhancing service availability and efficiency, thereby improving response times and reducing operational costs in enterprise environments.
To troubleshoot OutOfMemoryError, follow three steps: capture heap dump using JVM arguments to automate collection when errors occur, restart the application to maintain stability, and diagnose the problem using tools like Eclipse MAT or HeapHero for automated analysis. This approach can streamline the troubleshooting process significantly.
I was surprised to witness the Java Executor behavior – which caused “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread” in our application. I would like to share my surprise (i.e. problem) and resolution to it.
The article outlines strategies for troubleshooting CPU spikes in Java applications, highlighting issues like repeated Full GC, non-terminating loops, and non-synchronized access to HashMap. It presents tactical and strategic solutions, including monitoring garbage collection, analyzing thread dumps, and replacing HashMap with ConcurrentHashMap to mitigate CPU performance issues.
