This study aims to optimize the utilization of critical system resources such as CPU and memory
in modern Spring Boot-based web applications. Different Spring Beans (services, components, controllers)
within the application are modeled as rational players attempting to maximize their own performance. Non
cooperative game theory, specifically Stackelberg and Nash Equilibrium models, is employed to analyze
and manage resource competition among these players. The developed dynamic resource management
system fairly and efficiently distributes resources by instantaneously evaluating each bean’s resource
demand and the overall system status. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed game theory-based
approach significantly increases overall system throughput and reduces resource waste compared to
traditional resource management algorithms. Particularly, JHipster’s modular structure and Spring Boot’s
flexible bean management enhance the applicability of this game theory model. This study makes a
significant contribution to the literature by offering a more equitable, efficient, and dynamic resource
management approach compared to traditional methods.
