Find out how to improve your project performance significantly
Recently, I got some time from the new development of the project. So, I thought let's take a look to improve the performance of the project.
How to improve?
There are several ways to improve the performance of your project. Like? You can start first from cleaning up code, removing unnecessary imports in the file, deleting not needed files. Also, you can reorganize your project structure by dividing into multiple components.
Above are the very basic things that you can do in your project. After that, you can take a look at your application main section which is used many times when the user opens the application. This is the section which executes several times. It can be a homepage of your application. If there are multiple loops are running, try to remove that first.
Loops?
Yes, loops (like "For" and "While" loop) downgrade your application performance. You can move that loop code from backend to front-end or get specifically formatted data from the database. Always, try to avoid using loops in the backend except there's not any other way.
What next?
By following above steps, your application will be significantly improved. Now, you can focus on database part.
In the software application, major performance is based on the backend and the database. You must be using ORM in the backend to interact with your database and get or insert the data. You can find many guidelines about how to improve performance in your ORM library. I'm using in python flask framework. Also, I found a pretty good article about Master SQLAlchemy Relationships in a Performance Friendly Way.
If you can't find anything there are some basic database rules that you can avoid like:
I've followed above all rules in my project. Now, performance is drastically changed. I hope above list of common pitfalls can help you avoid these issues and keep your application running smoothly. As always, when diagnosing a performance problem, measurement is key. Most databases offer performance diagnostics that can help you pinpoint issues, such as the PostgreSQL pg_stat_statements module.
