This blog series will examine the tools, techniques, and strategies we have utilized to achieve this goal. The first phase involves validating functional correctness, scalability, and performance concerns and ensuring the new systems’ resilience before the migration. This approach has a handful of benefits.

Or worse yet, sometimes I get questions about regaining normal operations after a traffic increase caused performance destabilization. Unfortunately, this topic is more of an art than a science, given that there is really no foolproof algorithm or approach that can tell you exactly where you might hit a bottleneck with server performance.

Over the course of this post, we will talk about our approach to this migration, the strategies that we employed, and the tools we built to support this. This allows the app to query a list of “paths” in each HTTP request, and get specially formatted JSON (jsonGraph) that we use to cache the data and hydrate the UI.

Site performance is potentially the most important metric. The better the performance, the better chance that users stay on a page, read content, make purchases, or just about whatever they need to do. With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. Lighthouse.

In this post, we compare ScaleGrid’s Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) plan vs. the standard Dedicated Hosting model to help you determine the best strategy for your MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis™ and MongoDB® database deployment. This becomes really important for cache solutions like Redis™. What is ScaleGrid’s Bring Your Own Cloud Plan?

Performance is one of the essential aspects of a database management system. Very little can be more annoying and frustrating for users than poor performance, meaning long-running queries and high response times at the front end. This scan method can help get the best possible performance for the queries that fit its conditions.

With only an hour or so of degraded performance in the end, it’s not the worst incident you can imagine, but it was clearly taken as very serious given the time of year. The process tracing exercise included: Examning IRC transcripts from multiple channels.
