Performance Metrics

Performance metrics are crucial for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a system or application. These metrics help in identifying bottlenecks, improving user experience, and making data-driven decisions.

Key Metrics:
- Response Time: The time taken to respond to a request.
- Throughput: The number of requests processed per unit of time.
- Availability: The percentage of time the system is operational.
- Error Rate: The number of failed requests per total requests.
Tools for Monitoring:
- New Relic: Offers real-time performance monitoring and analytics.
- Datadog: Provides comprehensive infrastructure, application, and team analytics.
- Prometheus: An open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit.
Improving Performance:
- Optimize Code: Refactor code to improve efficiency.
- Use Caching: Cache frequently accessed data to reduce response time.
- Load Balancing: Distribute traffic evenly across multiple servers.
