I felt that the lecture structure was very good. The traditional method has the disadvantage of having to reproduce everything through practice in the video, which wastes unnecessary time and makes it difficult to know what to focus on. This lecture is well compressed to avoid such inconveniences, and the content sufficiently explains the keywords I wanted, so I am satisfied.

What you will gain after the course

Improving query performance using indexes and caches

If you have done a performance test,
This time, we should try to improve performance, right?

As promised in the last performance testing lecture, we're back with a performance improvement lecture 🤗

The biggest change I've experienced since I started working in a team, as opposed to when I was developing alone, is measuring and improving performance. When I was developing applications on my own, the small number of users meant performance wasn't a major issue. However, as we process more data and traffic increases, I've realized that performance testing is essential . Even if a feature works well, poor performance can easily become a point of failure for the entire system, significantly impacting the user experience.

This lecture covers performance testing to address these issues and how to improve the API's logic accordingly . Using a shortened URL service as an example, we've prepared an easy-to-understand method for gradually improving the performance of your backend application.

First, we'll examine the basic code of the shortened URL application and deploy it to a server. We'll measure the performance of the creation and query APIs, explore potential performance improvements, and implement performance improvement methods one by one.

For the generation API, performance can be improved by increasing the number of request processing threads, increasing the server size, and separating response and generation. Learn how asynchronous processing and the snowflake algorithm can significantly improve the performance of the generation API.

To improve the performance of the query API, we'll cover methods such as adding database indexes, utilizing caches, and leveraging windowing. Through hands-on practice, you'll learn how to significantly improve query performance.

Analyze API-specific logic to derive performance improvement measures.

2⃣ Reducing Latency Using Asynchrony

The performance of an application perceived by the client, the API user, is ultimately determined by latency, the time it takes for a request to be responded to. Ultimately, if the client receives a faster response for the same task, the API's performance will be perceived as better. However, if the client is not a true user but another server, this will impact the overall system performance. Let's explore performance enhancement methods that leverage asynchrony to improve this aspect.

4⃣ Improving Update Query Performance Using Windowing

When update queries targeting the same record are continuously executed, locks on the record can cause a sharp performance degradation. This is commonly referred to as a "hot spot." While there are various ways to improve performance by addressing the hot spot issue, we'll address it through windowing, which is appropriate for increasing the redirectCount of a shortened URL.

*) The content covered in the lecture is closer to batch processing, but it has the same idea as windowing. If you change it to leverage Kafka, you can easily convert it to windowing.

Player Knowledge and Precautions

We use Vultr for our cloud service, but you can also use other cloud services like AWS or GCP. However, there will be some differences, such as firewall settings, when using other cloud services. However, I believe you'll gain more by researching these issues yourself and experiencing them firsthand.
We're conducting performance testing using Artillery, which we used in our previous performance testing lecture. Performance testing using nGrinder is briefly described in the appendix.
If you have any questions while taking the course, please leave a question. I'll update the information if necessary.
