How to optimize the application
To optimize the application, we must start from the output of the analysis phase of the Optimization Cycle workflow. The actions that we could take are very different:
- No action: The data analysis suggests that optimization is not possible or is not worth the effort to improve performance
- Code base optimization: The data tells us that there are bad algorithms or bad business logic implementation in our code base, and we can rewrite it to speed up the server
- Architectural action: The data identifies a system bottleneck, such as a legacy database
- Configuration setup: The analysis suggests that tweaking the configuration could improve the performance
The No action step is continually revised based on data that we will continue to measure and analyze over time.
For every action type, there is different knowledge to acquire. Working within a fantastic and heterogeneous team helps cover all these aspects, which are not always...
