Quote:Effectively reading and understanding existing code is a developer's superpower. In this book, you'll master techniques for code profiling, advanced debugging, and log evaluation to find and fix bugs and performance problems.

In Troubleshooting Java: Read, debug, and optimize JVM applications you will learn how to

Determine what code does the first time you see it
Expose code logic problems
Evaluate heap dumps to find memory leaks
Monitor CPU consumption to optimize execution
Use thread dumps to find and solve deadlocks
Easily follow a service-oriented or microservices system
Properly use logging to better understand Java app execution
Use Java debuggers efficiently

Searching for bugs, detangling messy legacy code, or evaluating your codebase for new features sucks up much of a developer's time. Troubleshooting Java: Read, debug, and optimize JVM applications teaches code investigation techniques that will help you efficiently understand how Java apps work, how to optimize them, and how to fix the bugs that break them. You'll go from the basics of debugging to advanced methods for locating problems in microservices architectures, and save yourself hours-or even days-of time. Each new technique is explained with lively illustrations and engaging real-world examples.
