Synchronization

If multiple threads shares the common area, then data inconsistency will happen. In order to overcome this we need to apply lock. Locking of Method/Block is nothing but synchronization. So that it will allow to execute one thread at a time 

 Synchronization will be applied to blocks and Methods.

If we apply synchronized to a method then at a time only one thread can run that method. It will not allow other threads to execute till the current thread execution is done. 


=>This concept is applicable at method and block level.

=>if we apply synchronization at block level or at method level then only one thread is allowed to execute the block or a method.

=> Advantage -> it resolves the problem of "Data Inconsistency/race condition".

=> Disadvantage->It increase the waiting time for other threads so it affects the performance of the

system.


Note: In java we have 2 levels of lock

a. class level lock => A thread which needs to execute static synchronized block/method needs class level lock. This lock is very unique at the class level.

b. object level lock => A thread which needs to execute synchronized block/method needs object level lock. This lock is very unique at the Object level.

Monolithic Architecture

Image
 Monolithic Architecture In our application, we will have several modules and several components are also available. Components are 1. Presentation Components These are responsible for handling Http Requests. Web applications means front end pages, Distributed applications means Rest Clients. 2. Web Components Responsible to handle user requests.(Servlets basically handles the Requests). 3. Business Components  Responsible to handle the business logic as per the business deals. 4. Persistence Components DAO is responsible for performing DB operations like DML,DDL,TCL,.... 5. Integration Components(Webservices, RestFul Services) Two projects can talk to each other only when we have Integration logic(basically RestfulServices, WebServices,...). 6. Authorization Components Responsible for Authorizing the user. 7. Notification Components Responsible for sending email or mobile message notifications. If we develop all these components as a single project then it is called as " Mono...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Monolithic Architecture

 Benefits of going for Monolith Architecture  Simple for development(becoz all are available in single project): At initial time it is very easy.   Easy for Testing : End to End Testing we can perform.   Easy for deployment : One war file only we have to deploy to server.   Easy for Scaling : multiple server we can spin easily(horizontal/vertical scaling) if requests increases then we can make keep multiple servers through which the scaling can be done to provide good responses to the client.  Disadvantages of Monolith Architecture  Maintenance of the application: If the application is to large and complex, it is difficult to understand. Change Request in the code is very difficult. Some changes in the existing application will have an impact to the other code, Lot of Impact Analysis will occur.   Adapting to New Technology is required: Change in java version and adapting to the version change also will take time. Applicati...

Load Balancers and Load Balancers Algorithms

Image
 Load Balancers When all components are in same applications, all request comes to same servers then burden will increase on the same server.  More the requests to the server, then the performance at the server side will be slow so the response time is high for clients.                                                                                                                                  Eg: Youtube, Myntra, Flipkart,.......(lakhs of users will send the request still the response time will be uniform for client)  When burden increased on server it will process the request slowly and some times the server might crash also.  To reduce the bu...
