Readings on writing high-performance server in Java

Question

Hi,

Could anyone please introduce books/papers/articles that I should read If I want to write a high-performance RPC server in Java, which handles large number of concurrent connections(C10K or over), is fault-tolerant, can be scaled out, and maintains high throughput? Thanks!

Answer 1

A few years ago Ebay reimplemented their platform in Java and there are a few white papers and presentations floating around that describe it. Here are some:

• http://www.sun.com/2003-0624/feature/index.html
• http://www.infoq.com/presentations/shoup-ebay-architectural-principles
• http://www.infoq.com/articles/ebay-scalability-best-practices

Supposedly there is a link to a relevant white paper somewhere on this site, though I haven't found it yet: http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/

You should edit your question to be alittle more specific, what kind of server are we talking about here?

But to answer your question generally, I would looking into find your java program into a database. Why go through the trouble of rolling your own when you can leverage existing tools?
