Approximately 90% of all performance issues can only be solved at the application level (aka: replacing bad code by good code). However, the infrastructure should provide a close-to-optimal setup to provide good response times to end users. This series of articles will try to:
- explain important performance relevant topics
- provide help on analysis of bottlenecks
- show best practices to avoid performance problems right from the beginning
