Performance Engineering – Realize the True Potential September 18, 2017
Are you experiencing slowness in your CRM application? Are you facing similar performance issues with other applications as well. Call an Expert !! Any application can be defined in 3 layers – 1) Database Layer 2) Business Layer 3) User Interface Layer All three layers can be responsible for performance degradation of your application. And these issues may not come initially because you are new to the system and overtime you change the system to cater to your business needs. But most often such changes are done in unplanned and in haphazard way to be faster without involving right architects who can suggest the basic tenets of a software design. Well in my experience I have seen many experienced architects also make mistakes in understanding the true causes of performance degradation. You need to first understand the user behavior and then understand the real usage of the application. Because you need to focus on the areas which impacts the most. First review the UI layer to understand you are not overdoing the UI layer for extraordinary data. UI layer in transactional systems should be simple and leaner. Bringing entire world on the UI might take lot of CPU time to process and need bigger memory to hold the information you are asking for on any instance. The wrong implementation of business logic in the business layer can severely impact the application performance. There are thousands of chapters on the coding standards and its actually above and beyond just coding, you design is mostly responsible for performance. Analyze the design and code and do the corrections without impacting functionality.
The database layer if designed correctly would work well even if the data size increases. But there is a time when you need to decide to archive your old data and only keep the latest data which is in use currently. You need to keep you tables with the right size of the data else the search and updates will certainly take more time because the bigger the size the longer it will take to process. More than this there are other necessary items that you need to keep watch on to check your database performance is at optimum level. You should keep your tables indexed, cache cleaned, memory segregation with appropriate sizes. And regular maintenance is required to keep the application performance upright.
