Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. Similarly, an increased throughput signifies an intensive workload on a server and a larger latency.

When the word “performance” is heard, most people immediately think of speed. Just because everything works perfectly during production testing doesn’t mean that will be the case when your website is flooded with traffic. What Are the Benefits of Performance Testing? Peak response time: The longest response time.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. Microbenchmark os::javaTimeMillis() on both systems.

Memory Allocation: Allocating sufficient memory linked directly to the assigned CPU ensures effective utilization resulting in better system speed. The fundamental principles at play include evenly distributing the workload among servers for better application performance and redirecting client requests to nearby servers to reduce latency.

Query performance Query performance is a key performance indicator (KPI) in MySQL, as it measures the efficiency and speed of query execution. That said, it should also be monitored for usage, which will exhibit the traffic pressuring them. This is not an exhaustive list but an example of what we can watch for.

A Primer on Speed. Discussing performance and “speed” can quickly get complex, because many underlying aspects contribute to a web-page loading “slowly”. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

You would, however, be hard-pressed even today to find a good article that details the nuanced best practices. This is because, as I stated in the introduction to part 1 , much of the early HTTP/2 content was overly optimistic about how well it would work in practice, and some of it, quite frankly, had major mistakes and bad advice.

This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for. There are performance score, a11y score, best practices score, SEO score.
