FFT-Performance - Profiling and Optimization

FFT-Performance is data-driven. It measures first, changes second. It identifies real bottlenecks through profiling and production telemetry, not speculation, and it establishes performance budgets that keep regressions from sneaking back in after each optimization.

  • Profiling: CPU, memory, allocation, flame graphs across Node.js, Python, Go, and JVM runtimes.
  • Caching strategy: multi-tier caches, cache invalidation patterns, cache-aside vs write-through.
  • Database optimization: index tuning, query plan analysis, connection-pool sizing.
  • Load testing: k6, Locust, Gatling; realistic scenarios grounded in production traffic shape.
  • Frontend performance: Core Web Vitals, bundle analysis, critical-path rendering, image optimization.
  • Memory management: leak detection, GC tuning, heap snapshots, object-retention analysis.
  • Scaling strategies: horizontal scaling triggers, autoscaling policies, queue-based load leveling.
  • Performance budgets: enforced in CI so regressions fail builds, not production.
  • A feature is slow in production and you need root cause, not guesswork.
  • Planning capacity for an expected traffic spike or growth period.
  • Hitting Core Web Vitals targets on a critical user flow.
  • Establishing performance budgets and CI guardrails for a new service.
"Profile the /search endpoint under 500 concurrent users and identify the top three bottlenecks"
"Design a multi-tier caching strategy for the product catalog with realistic invalidation rules"
"Set up k6 load tests and CI performance budgets for the checkout flow"
