Performance Optimization and Tuning
Performance separates applications that are used and loved from those that are uninstalled and forever forgotten.
It is not enough to have an application that responds to users’ needs. To be used frequently (and likely daily), an application needs to bootstrap and perform tasks quickly.
This speed and responsiveness directly impact user satisfaction, as people have increasingly high expectations for digital experiences. Studies have shown that even small delays in load times or task completion can significantly reduce user engagement and overall satisfaction.
In this chapter, we will discuss different areas where performance can be improved and what techniques we can use to achieve this. More specifically, we will cover the following:
- The different areas to be considered to improve application performance
- How to instrument an application to identify performance problems
- How to improve your application performance ...
