A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.


This video course is a journey into Java data access performance tuning. From connection management, to batch updates, fetch sizes, and concurrency control mechanisms, it unravels the inner workings of the most common Java data access frameworks.

Vlad Mihalcea is a Java Champion and one of the top Hibernate ORM project committers. He created the Hypersistence Optimizer tool, which scans your application configuration and mappings and tells you what changes you need to make to speed up your data access layer.

He's been answering thousands of questions about Hibernate and JPA on StackOverflow, for which he's got gold badges for Hibernate, Java, and JPA tags.

As Java developers, we all use JPA and inherently Hibernate at one point in time in our projects. Sometimes it happens that some of us just use and abuse this technology.


The presentation has the right topics, order and proper information to get the beginners and the “lost” intermediate user on the right track. You are a senior, and you wonder if it’s the right thing for you? Well, you can get under the hood and understand the underlying mechanisms and implementations used throughout the framework. Moreover, you will learn about advanced topics like caching, locking mechanisms and concurrency control.


I strongly believe that this is a great all-around training when it comes to ORM concepts.

I've been using Hibernate for over 8 years in various projects, and I was thinking "what's more to learn about it?". Well, it turns out I was wrong. I've learned a lot after attending Vlad's training.

It was a very educative and enlightening course, backed up by a lot of code samples, answered questions, do's and don'ts in the Hibernate world. There's a huge difference between using Hibernate and using it right.

What better way to strengthen one's Hibernate skills than with a course in High-Performance Java Persistence with none other than the world-renowned expert, Vlad Mihalcea!

In a 4-part series, each 4 hours long, densely packed with everything from "best practices" to "biggest pitfalls", developers all around Cloudflight got nothing less than wisdom from the best.


We thank Vlad for this great experience and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone else willing to dig into the nooks and crannies of High-Performance Java Persistence.
