You also used some profiling tools to get a snapshot of Twitalytics’s performance characteristics. Every application has its slow spots, but with a basic understanding of these tools, you’ll be able to track down those pain points without much trouble.

Deploying Twitalytics on JRuby simplified its infrastructure, which allows these ...
