7. Profile memory usage

8. Optimization Strategies:

9. Algorithm optimization
10. Data structure selection
11. Caching strategies
12. Lazy loading
13. Database query optimization
14. Parallel processing
15. Resource pooling

16. Batch processing

17. Frontend Performance:

18. Bundle size optimization
19. Code splitting
20. Image optimization
21. Lazy loading of assets
22. Browser caching
23. Render performance

24. DOM manipulation efficiency

25. Backend Performance:

26. API response times
27. Database indexing
28. Query optimization
29. Connection pooling
30. Asynchronous processing
31. Load balancing

32. Microservices architecture

33. Measurement & Monitoring:

34. Define performance metrics
35. Set performance budgets
36. Implement monitoring
37. Create performance tests
38. Track regressions

Performance Best Practices

Code Level

• Use appropriate data structures
• Avoid premature optimization
• Measure before optimizing
• Cache expensive computations
• Minimize I/O operations
• Use asynchronous operations

Database

• Add proper indexes
• Optimize queries (avoid N+1)
• Use connection pooling
• Implement query caching
• Denormalize when appropriate
• Use pagination

API

• Implement rate limiting
• Use compression
• Enable caching headers
• Minimize payload size
• Batch requests
• Use CDN for static assets
