Benchmarking performance
Benchmarking is about identifying bottlenecks and inefficient code paths that could slow down your code. By comparing different algorithms or strategies under the same conditions, you can pinpoint which one offers the best performance, whether it’s about faster execution, lower memory usage, or better CPU efficiency.
Regular benchmarking can also expose issues that might not surface under normal development testing, like memory leaks, concurrency problems with multiple threads, or scalability issues when handling large volumes of data or high traffic.
When you have concrete data on how various implementations compare to each other, you can make informed decisions. Whether it’s choosing between different libraries, frameworks, or architectural patterns, benchmarking provides the evidence needed to make a confident decision. This will help you avoid premature optimizations or going down the path of using a trendy new tool or technique that...
