Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. When the word “performance” is heard, most people immediately think of speed. What is Performance Testing? What Are the Benefits of Performance Testing?

Even if it is 4G (5G, or whatever else) that doesn’t exactly guarantee you’ll be getting the amazing, theoretical speeds promised. Once a new network does get rolled out, it takes years for carriers to optimize it to try and close in on the promised bandwidth and latency benchmarks. And those speeds aren’t constant.

What about short-lived processes, like a service restarting in a loop? 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. Measuring the speed of time Is there already a microbenchmark for os::javaTimeMillis()?

Introduction Caching serves a dual purpose in web development – speeding up client requests and reducing server load. Scaling with Memcached Memcached’s multithreaded architecture efficiently utilizes multiple CPU cores, significantly enhancing scalability by increasing the system’s ability to process concurrent operations.

Real user monitoring (RUM) is a performance monitoring process that collects detailed data about users’ interactions with an application. RUM, however, has some limitations, including the following: RUM requires traffic to be useful. In some cases, you will lack benchmarking capabilities. What is real user monitoring?

Google has a pretty tight grip on the tech industry: it makes by far the most popular browser with the best DevTools, and the most popular search engine, which means that web developers spend most of their time in Chrome, most of their visitors are in Chrome, and a lot of their search traffic will be coming from Google. Why This Is a Problem.

To show that I can criticize my own work as well, here I show that sustained memory bandwidth (using an approximation to the STREAM Benchmark ) is also inadequate as a single figure of metric. (It Here I assumed a particular analytical function for the amount of memory traffic as a function of cache size to scale the bandwidth time.
