Performance Checklist

  • Use a relay server to examine data transfers.

  • Reduce the number of messages transferred.

    • Cache data and objects to change distributed requests to local ones.

    • Batch messages to reduce the number of messages transferred.

    • Compress large transfers.

    • Partition the application so that methods execute where their data is held.

    • Multiplex communications to reduce connection overhead.

    • Stub out data links to reduce the amount of data required to be transferred.

  • Design the various components so that they can execute asynchronously from each other.

    • Anticipate data requirements so that data is transferred earlier.

    • Split up data so that partial results can be displayed.

    • Avoid creating distributed garbage.

  • Optimize database communications. Application partitioning is especially important with databases.

    • Use statically defined database queries.

    • Avoid database transactional modes if possible.

    • Use JDBC optimizations such as prepared statements, specific SQL requests, etc.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
