## Overview

This guide provides strategies and best practices for optimizing performance across the integrated workspace.

## Application Performance

### Code Optimization

#### TypeScript/JavaScript
- Use efficient algorithms
- Minimize object creation
- Cache expensive computations
- Use lazy loading

#### Database Queries
- Use indexes
- Avoid N+1 queries
- Use connection pooling
- Optimize joins

#### API Performance
- Implement caching
- Use compression
- Minimize payload size
- Batch requests

### Caching Strategies

#### Application Cache
```typescript
// In-memory cache
const cache = new Map();

function getCached(key: string) {
  if (cache.has(key)) {
    return cache.get(key);
  }
  const value = computeExpensive();
  cache.set(key, value);
  return value;
}
```

#### Redis Cache
```typescript
import { Redis } from 'ioredis';

const redis = new Redis();

async function getCached(key: string) {
  const cached = await redis.get(key);
  if (cached) return JSON.parse(cached);

  const value = await computeExpensive();
  await redis.setex(key, 3600, JSON.stringify(value));
  return value;
}
```

## Infrastructure Performance

### Resource Optimization

#### Right-Sizing
- Monitor actual usage
- Adjust resources based on metrics
- Use auto-scaling
- Optimize for cost

#### Load Balancing
- Distribute traffic evenly
- Health check optimization
- Session affinity when needed
- Geographic distribution

### Database Performance

#### Connection Pooling
```typescript
const pool = new Pool({
  max: 20,
  min: 5,
  idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
});
```

#### Query Optimization
- Use prepared statements
- Index frequently queried fields
- Analyze slow queries
- Use query caching

---

## Monitoring & Profiling

### Application Metrics

Track:
- Response times (p50, p95, p99)
- Throughput (requests/second)
- Error rates
- Resource usage (CPU, memory)

### Profiling Tools

#### Node.js
- `clinic.js` - Performance profiling
- `0x` - Flamegraph generation
- `autocannon` - Load testing

#### Database
- `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` - Query analysis
- Slow query logs
- Connection pool metrics
