Mastering High Performance with Kotlin: Overcome performance difficulties in Kotlin with a range of exciting techniques and solutions: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mastering High Performance with Kotlin: Overcome performance difficulties in Kotlin with a range of exciting techniques and solutions" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Find out how to write Kotlin code without overhead and how to use different profiling tools and bytecode viewer to inspect expressions of Kotlin language. Key Features Apply modern Kotlin features to speed up processing and implement highly efficient and reliable codes. Learn memory optimization, concurrency, multi-threading, scaling, and caching techniques to achieve high performance. Learn how to prevent unnecessary overhead and use profiling tools to detect performance issues. Book Description The ease with which we write applications has been increasing, but with it comes the need to address their performance. A balancing act between easily implementing complex applications and keeping their performance optimal is a present-day requirement In this book, we explore how to achieve this crucial balance, while developing and deploying applications with Kotlin. The book starts by analyzing various Kotlin specifcations to identify those that have a potentially adverse effect on performance. Then, we move on to monitor techniques that enable us to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize performance metrics. Next, we look at techniques that help to us achieve high performance: memory optimization, concurrency, multi threading, scaling, and caching. We also look at fault tolerance solutions and the importance of logging. Well also cover best practices of Kotlin programming that will help you to improve the quality of your code base. By the end of the book, you will have gained some insight into various techniques and solutions that will help to create high-performance applications in the Kotlin environment What you will learn Understand the importance of high performance Learn performance metrics Learn popular design patterns currently being used in Kotlin Understand how to apply modern Kotlin features to data processing Learn how to use profling tools Discover how to read bytecode Learn to perform memory optimizations Uncover approaches to the multithreading environment Who this book is for This book is for Kotlin developers who would like to build reliable and high-performance applications. Prior Kotlin programming knowledge is assumed.

Preface

Kotlin is a statically typed programming language that is designed to interoperate with Java code. Since the kotlinc compiler generates the same bytecode as javac, migrating to a new code base doesn't require a lot of effort. Kotlin is a modern language that contains many features from different paradigms that allow you to write concise and safe code. In light of all these points, Kotlin is growing in popularity and increasing in the number of developers who use it.

The book starts by analyzing different performance metrics and debugging tools that help us to identify performance bottlenecks. It's important to understand how Kotlin and its modern features work under the hood; that's why we will inspect a lot of bytecode in the book. We will learn how to benchmark our code and avoid different types of resource leaks. The book ends with best practices that will help you to sum up all things that you've learned.

Who this book is for

This book is for developers who would like to gain deeper understanding of how Kotlin works under the hood. The material doesn't depend on a certain platform of framework, but it focuses on Java Virtual Machine. This book doesn't cover topics about Kotlin to JavaScript feature and Kotlin/Native. It's a good choice for client-side developers because it contains examples with user interfaces and multithreaded environments.

What this book covers

, Identifying Performance Bottlenecks , covers the reasons for performance issues and how they can impact the user experience and performance of the whole software product. It is an overview of the issues this book aims to resolve, and prepares the reader for the details of these issues in subsequent chapters.

, Identifying Performance Issues , presents p erformance as one of the leading challenges you will encounter while building any software application. Response speed is one of the critical criteria to analyze performance issues, and it closely correlates with the success of that software in the market. We can use different parameters to identify problems depending on the architecture and what technology is used in the implementation.

, Learn How to Use Profiling Tools , introduces various techniques of troubleshooting application code. We will look at the different profiling tools that measure space of memory, the frequency and duration of function calls, and which software is included in the IntelliJ IDEA platform for this purpose.
