Not every application needs high performance everywhere. But when performance is critical, a brute-force approach to increasing speed often does not solve the underlying problem.
In this session, you will explore lessons learned from working with high-performance systems, including the factors that can cause systems to slow down as they scale. You will examine where performance matters, what can get in the way at scale, and measures that can help provide speed where it is essential.
What You Will Learn
How to identify where high performance is essential within an application
What can cause high-performance systems to slow down as they scale
Measures that can help improve performance where it matters
Who Should Attend
Software Developers, Software Architects, Technical Leads, and practitioners designing or working with performance-critical systems.
