Profiling & Optimization
Table of Contents
Overview
Profile code execution to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize critical paths using data-driven approaches.
When to Use
- Performance optimization
- Identifying CPU bottlenecks
- Optimizing hot paths
- Investigating slow requests
- Reducing latency
- Improving throughput

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Profile before optimizing
- Focus on hot paths
- Measure impact of changes
- Use production-like data
- Consider memory vs speed tradeoffs
- Document optimization rationale
❌ DON'T
- Optimize without profiling
- Ignore readability for minor gains
- Skip benchmarking
- Optimize cold paths
- Make changes without measurement
