Before Optimization:
- Identify bottlenecks with profiling
- Establish baseline metrics
- Define success criteria
During Optimization:
- Change one thing at a time
- Measure after each change
- Document all changes
- Maintain correctness tests
After Optimization:
- Verify all tests pass
- Compare against baseline
- Document trade-offs
- Monitor production metrics
-
Database
- Add indexes for query patterns
- Use connection pooling
- Implement query result caching
- Use read replicas for queries
-
Caching
- Cache at multiple layers
- Use appropriate TTLs
- Implement cache warming
- Monitor hit rates
-
Concurrency
- Use connection pooling
- Implement worker pools
- Batch operations
- Use async where appropriate
-
Networking
- Enable compression
- Use HTTP/2 or HTTP/3
- Implement keep-alive
- Use CDN for static assets
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| High CPU | Infinite loop or busy waiting | Profile and optimize hot paths |
| High Memory | Memory leak or excessive allocation | Use heap profiling |
| Slow queries | Missing indexes | Analyze query plans |
| Connection errors | Pool exhaustion | Increase pool size or reduce contention |
| Timeouts | Slow dependencies | Add circuit breakers, increase timeouts |
-
Structured Logging
- Include correlation IDs
- Log at appropriate levels
- Include context and stack traces
- Use centralized logging
-
Distributed Tracing
- Propagate trace context
- Create spans for operations
- Add tags and logs to spans
- Use sampling for high throughput
-
Live Debugging
- Use debug endpoints (carefully)
- Enable pprof in production (protected)
- Implement health checks
- Use feature flags for safe testing
-
Service Down
1. Check monitoring dashboards 2. Identify scope (partial/total) 3. Review recent deployments 4. Check dependency status 5. Rollback if needed 6. Communicate to stakeholders -
Data Corruption
1. Stop writes immediately 2. Identify affected data 3. Restore from backup 4. Verify data integrity 5. Root cause analysis 6. Implement prevention -
Security Incident
1. Activate incident response team 2. Contain the breach 3. Preserve evidence 4. Assess impact 5. Notify affected parties 6. Document lessons learned
