Chapter 12: Design for Performance

This chapter reviews all the performance-related factors and features we have learned in this book and explores the subject of how the knowledge and the understanding we have gained should influence the design decisions we make when developing a new software system or rearchitecting an existing one. We will see how the design decisions impact the performance of the software systems, learn how to make performance-related design decisions in the absence of detailed data, as well as reviewing the best practices for designing APIs, concurrent data structures, and high-performance data structures to avoid inefficiencies. We will explore the following subjects:
