Frequently Asked Questions: Performance Optimization
(01)How do we know whether optimisation is worth it?
The baseline measurement shows where your application loses time or compute and what effect individual measures can be expected to have. Only then do you decide what gets implemented.
(02)What improvement do you promise?
We do not make a blanket promise, because the effect depends on the actual bottleneck. We set target values together and back every measure with a before-and-after measurement.
(03)Do we have to rebuild the application?
Usually not. Large gains often lie in database queries, caching and delivery. If the analysis shows a rebuild is needed, you receive a separate recommendation for it.
(04)Will you touch our production system?
We measure with real usage data wherever possible; load tests run in a test environment. Changes are rolled out in coordination with you and with a rollback option.
(05)What does performance optimisation cost?
Fixed price after scoping, quote within 48 hours. If the optimisation lowers your cloud costs, we show this in the final report.
