Measuring embedded performance
When you embed Power BI content in your applications, it is recommended that you measure the embedding activity to understand the performance profile. The methods we have described in this book can help you measure and resolve the performance of the Power BI artifacts themselves, but they do not tell you what is happening in your application and whether there is any inefficiency when it is communicating with Power BI and loading content. For example, the embedded Power BI report may execute queries and render visuals within two seconds, but the user experiences a longer total wait time due to the embedding overhead. Before we learn how to measure the embedding overhead, we will introduce a recommended practice.
When you are performance-tuning your embedded content, it is very important to obtain a baseline of performance without embedding. This will help you set the appropriate range for the best case in performance, as well as help you identify any...
