- “How do I know if the performance will be good enough for 1million users?”
- “My team’s software is too slow! How do we make it faster?”

I’ve spent several years studying and improving the performance of desktop apps, web apps, and big data processing systems. Performance engineering is really hard, and I wanted to share my knowledge in a way the that average engineers and managers can understand. You can use this blog as a reference for specific techniques or read the articles from start to finish as a training course. If you disagree, if you have a performance story to tell, or a cool technique to share, please submit your comments. If you need further help, check my ‘about’ page for contact details.
