There are many variants of JBoss available today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>JBoss EAP is the name for the Java EE application server that Red Hat produces and supports.<\/li>\n<li>JBoss AS and WildFly are the community versions of the JBoss application server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While Apache Tomcat used to be the underlying engine for JBoss EAP and AS, more recently, Undertow is used as the application server engine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_tips_for_JBoss_performance_tuning\"><\/span>Top tips for JBoss performance tuning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today\u2019s blog is a quick overview of 5 areas, which are those most likely to be worth your while scrutinizing and optimizing. It should be noted that simply doing performance tuning on JBoss alone is not enough to produce a high-performance application. It is just one of the steps that you need to follow. A more detailed guide on optimizing Java applications within the context of JBoss usage including configuration settings is also available, see: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/jboss-performance-tuning\/\">JBoss Performance Tuning &amp; Monitoring | eG Innovations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll also cover what capabilities the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/supported-technologies\/observability-for-modern-it\">eG Enterprise application performance monitoring and observability solution<\/a> offers out-of-the-box for JBoss-based applications.

Garbage collection is a critical process that manages memory in Java applications by reclaiming memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use.

If the connection pool is exhausted or not configured properly, requests to the application may take longer than usual to complete. This can result in slow response times and a poor user experience. And if connections are not released back to the pool properly, they may be held open indefinitely. This can cause the pool to become exhausted, resulting in slow response times, application crashes, or data inconsistencies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slou_design\">Solution:<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-31442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jboss-03-new.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"108\" height=\"108\" \/>There are many metrics you should proactively monitor for JBoss connections such as ActiveCount, AvailableCount, MaxUsedCount which are available via the native CLI, API and HTTP API.<\/p>\n<p>When using a connection pool, you need to balance the costs of keeping connections open vs. opening\/closing new connections. Ideally you will want to size the connection pool such that the number of idle connections is minimized, but also optimize the frequency at which you open\/close new connections. You will also need to ensure that the maximum number of connections is appropriate, as this will limit the maximum capacity throughput that a database can achieve.<\/p>\n<p>If monitoring reveals problems with connection pool performance or connection availability, you may need to tune the connection pool.
