Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. Poor performance has a compound effect on user expectations at an ecosystem level. Live by the link, die by the link.

Despite advances in browser tooling , automated evaluation , lab tools , guidance , and runtimes , however, teams struggle to deliver even decent performance with today's popular frameworks. What is Performance? It may seem a silly question, but what is performance, exactly?

Performance issues surrounding Availability Groups typically were related to disk I/O or network speeds. Our customers who deployed Availability Groups were now using servers for primary and secondary replicas with 12+ core sockets and flash storage SSD arrays providing microsecond to low millisecond latencies. one without a replica).

Some of the built-in features ( wal_compression ) have been there since 2016, and almost all backup tools do the WAL compression before taking it to the backup repository. But this comes with a considerable performance implication. But this comes with a considerable performance implication.

TL;DR: performance budgets are an essential but under-appreciated part of product success and team health. Nobody is trying to do a poor job, and yet the results of a “completed” PWA project often require weeks or months of painstaking rework to deliver minimally acceptable performance. Partner meetings are illuminating.
