Beyond ChatGPT: Building Intelligent LLM Agents and Tool-Using Applications in Java with Spring AI

Welcome back, fellow Java innovators! In our last guide, we explored the foundational power of Generative AI and how Spring AI makes it incredibly easy to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into your Java applications. We touched on generating text, summarization, and basic Q&A. But what if you want your LLM to do more than just generate text? What if you need it to fetch real-time data, interact with your internal APIs, or perform complex, multi-step actions?

Optimizing JVM Metaspace for Dynamic Class Loading in Spring Boot Microservices

Welcome, advanced Java architects and site reliability engineers! In the complex landscape of modern microservices, especially those built with Spring Boot, ensuring predictable and stable performance is paramount. While heap memory is often the primary focus of optimization, the Metaspace — where the JVM stores class metadata — frequently becomes an overlooked villain, silently leading to OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace in long-running or dynamically evolving systems.

JVM Monitoring and Performance Tuning: A Comprehensive Guide for Production Java Applications

Welcome, Java engineers and site reliability experts! In the demanding world of production applications, simply writing functional code isn’t enough. The true test of a robust Java application lies in its performance, stability, and resource efficiency under real-world load. And at the heart of every running Java application is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Optimizing the JVM is often the most critical, yet frequently overlooked, aspect of ensuring your Java applications run smoothly, consume fewer resources, and scale effectively. This comprehensive guide from JavaYou.com will demystify JVM monitoring and performance tuning, providing you with the knowledge and tools to keep your production Java applications running at peak performance.
