Load balancing : Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion. When planning your database HA architecture, the size of your company is a great place to start to assess your needs.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. We are working on multiple fronts to extend the solution presented here.

Component-Based Architecture Saves Time. Reactjs has introduced the concept of component-based architecture to the web development arena. This component-based architecture helps in collating an array of more extensive UI and converts them into an independent, self-sufficient micro-system. Requires many native workarounds.

It might be tempting to get into quick "low-hanging-fruits"-optimizations early on — and it might be a good strategy for quick wins — but it will be very hard to keep performance a priority without planning and setting realistic, company-tailored performance goals.
