Day 1 – Foundations of Performance
Module 1: Why Performance Matters in Digital Systems
Introduction to performance in the context of modern digital systems.
Understand the impact of performance on user experience and business success.
Key concepts: response time, throughput, scalability, and their importance.
Module 2: Frontend vs Backend Performance
Explore the differences between frontend and backend performance.
Learn how to measure and optimize both for better overall system performance.
Introduction to basic monitoring techniques: logs, metrics, Real User Monitoring (RUM), and synthetic monitoring.
Day 2 – Getting Hands-On
Module 1: Simple Test Case Design (Load, Stress, Spike)
Understand the different types of performance tests: load, stress, and spike testing.
Learn how to design and execute these tests to evaluate system performance.
Module 2: Performance Monitoring in Action
Explore how to implement performance monitoring in real systems.
Hands-on experience with monitoring tools, collecting metrics, and analyzing data.
Running and analyzing performance tests, identifying bottlenecks, and interpreting results.
Module 3: Comparing Common Tools & Approaches
Overview of commonly used performance testing and monitoring tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, New Relic, Grafana).
Discuss the strengths and limitations of each tool and how to choose the right one for specific use cases.
Day 3 – Deep Dive Workshop (Optional)
