Performance & Scaling

Databases Performance Tuning and Scaling Performance tuning and scaling help keep apps fast as data grows. Start with a clear baseline, then apply targeted changes. This guide offers practical steps you can use on most database systems, from small query fixes to larger architectural decisions. Assessing performance Begin with concrete metrics. Track latency, throughput, CPU and memory use, I/O wait, and cache hit rates. A stable baseline makes it easier to spot slow queries and plan changes. Regularly review slow queries and error rates, and compare week to week to catch regressions. ...

Web Servers: Architecture, Performance, and Tuning Web servers are the hands that bring pages to your browser. They decide how fast a page loads, how many people can view it at once, and how secure the connection is. In many setups the server works with a reverse proxy and a cache to boost speed and reliability. This article explains common architectures, the main performance factors, and practical tuning steps you can apply today. ...
