Introduction to Metrics and Performance Expectations
Explore how to gather and analyze metrics for Elixir applications to ensure strong performance. Learn about code instrumentation, data collection, and visualization tools, and understand proactive stress testing to identify and address bottlenecks before customers encounter them.
We'll cover the following...
We’re coming to the end of the road in our adoption journey, but there’s still some work to do. After we’ve decided how to deploy the application, it’s time to shift our focus to keep things running quickly and uniformly. That task will take us into gathering metrics for performance analysis. Before we dive into tools, let’s talk a bit about why we need to do so.
Maybe choosing Elixir was precisely linked to facing performance issues or battling scalability challenges. There are many reasons why these things are important.
Why does performance matter?
First, let’s consider the impact of uniformly strong performance on customers. If it’s a web application, performance directly impacts the user experience and that relates to ...
