Monitor Your Spring Application Performance with the PerformanceMonitorInterceptor: A Comprehensive Guide
Why PerformanceMonitorInterceptor is important?
In one of my previous project, we worked on a system that consisted of 25 microservices in the banking domain. The requirement was to handle a high load of 300 transactions per second (TPS). It was crucial for us to identify any performance issues early on, even in the development environment. Although we had Splunk for performance monitoring in higher environments, we wanted to catch and fix any performance problems as soon as possible.
That’s where the “PerformanceMonitorInterceptor” came into the picture. It’s a handy tool provided by Spring that helps developers measure and keep track of their code’s performance. Imagine it as a watchful observer that closely monitors how fast or slow your code is running. It provides valuable insights into the performance of your Spring application.
