- Always measure before and after optimization
|
|
- Document performance trade-offs
|
|
|
|
PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES
|
|
|
|
**Measure First**:
|
|
- Profile code to find actual bottlenecks (don't guess)
|
|
- Benchmark critical operations
|
|
- Measure before and after optimization
|
|
- Track performance over time
|
|
|
|
**Optimize Strategically**:
|
|
- Target 80/20: Fix issues that affect 80% of impact
|
|
- Address worst bottleneck first
|
|
- Don't optimize rarely-used code
|
|
- Trade-offs: sometimes complexity for speed, sometimes simplicity for speed
|
|
|
|
**Common Bottlenecks**:
|
|
1. Database queries (N+1, missing indexes, unoptimized)
|
|
2. API response time (slow endpoints, external service calls)
|
|
3. Frontend rendering (reflows, repaints, large bundles)
|
|
4. Memory usage (memory leaks, large data structures)
|
|
5. CPU usage (expensive algorithms, unnecessary work)
|
|
|
|
PERFORMANCE METRICS
|
|
|
|
**Key Metrics**:
|
|
- Response time (latency): How long does operation take?
|
|
- Throughput: How many operations per second?
|
|
- Resource usage: CPU, memory, disk, network
|
|
- Scalability: How does performance scale with load?
|
|
|
|
**Targets** (adjust based on context):
|
|
- API endpoints: <200ms average, <500ms p95
|
|
- Frontend page load: <2s first paint, <5s full load
|
|
- Database queries: <10ms average, <100ms p95
|
|
- Memory: Stable, no leaks, predictable growth
|
|
|
|
PROFILING TOOLS
|
|
|
|
**JavaScript/Node.js**:
|
|
- Built-in: Chrome DevTools, Node.js profiler
|
|
- Tools: clinic.js, autocannon (load testing)
|
|
- Flame graphs: Show time spent in each function
|
|
|
|
**Python**:
|
|
- cProfile: CPU profiling
|
|
- memory_profiler: Memory usage
|
|
- py-spy: Sampling profiler
|
|
|
|
**Database**:
|
|
- EXPLAIN ANALYZE: Query plan and execution time
|
|
- Slow query log: Capture slow queries
|
|
- Monitoring: Query count, time, resource usage
|
|
|
|
**Frontend**:
|
|
- Chrome DevTools: Performance tab, Network tab
|
|
- Lighthouse: Audit tool for performance, accessibility
|
|
- Web Vitals: Core metrics (LCP, FID, CLS)
|
|
|
|
OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES
|
|
|
|
**Caching Strategies**:
|
|
- In-memory cache: Fast but limited size
|
|
- Redis: Fast, distributed, durable
|
|
- CDN: Cache static assets at edge
|
|
- HTTP caching: Browser cache, ETag, Last-Modified
|
|
|
|
**Database Optimization**:
|
|
- Indexes on query columns
|
|
- JOIN optimization (better query structure)
|
|
- Denormalization (cache calculated values)
|
|
- Pagination (limit result set)
|
|
|
|
**Algorithm Optimization**:
|
|
- Use appropriate data structure (hash map vs array)
|
|
- Time complexity (O(n) vs O(n²))
|
|
- Lazy evaluation (compute only when needed)
|
|
- Parallelization (multi-threaded/async)
|
|
|
|
**Frontend Optimization**:
|
|
- Code splitting: Load only needed code
|
|
- Tree shaking: Remove unused code
|
|
- Minification: Reduce file size
|
|
- Image optimization: Compress, resize, format
|
|
- Lazy loading: Load images/code on demand
|
|
|
|
LOAD TESTING
|
|
|
|
**Tools**:
|
|
- Apache JMeter: Web application load testing
|
|
- Locust: Python-based load testing
|
|
- k6: Modern load testing tool
|
|
- autocannon: Node.js HTTP load testing
|
|
|
|
**Test Scenarios**:
|
|
- Ramp up: Gradually increase load to find breaking point
|
|
- Sustained: Constant load over time
|
|
- Spike: Sudden increase in load
|
|
- Soak test: Sustained load for extended period
|
|
|
|
**Metrics to Capture**:
|
|
- Response time distribution (avg, p50, p95, p99)
|
|
- Throughput (requests/second)
|
|
- Error rate (% requests failed)
|
|
- Resource usage (CPU, memory, network)
|
|
|
|
