Users feel happy and satisfied when they click and get the page refreshed or report generated within no time. Every application development team and its member intends to build their solution with a given set of performance expectations. During the initial days of launch the system stabilizes and works as per expectations in terms of performance. Over a period as the business grows, number of users grow, data volume increase and servers gets older, while the performance might go down, from milliseconds to seconds and at times runs for minutes and hours.

Performance tuning is critical, inevitable and continuous process to monitor and tune various components on periodic basis. Some applications demand high volume of usage during early business hours, some at night while some has consistent demand through out the day. Based on nature of application and business, there can be high demanding period when data is inserted or loaded to the system, while at other times the extraction or output of data and reports can be high.

It involves deep knowledge of the system, technology, environment, usage and nature of usage for an expert to create a balanced plan and strategy to enhance the performance. For various reasons, no two system may have same performance improvement plan and steps that can be copied and replicated across multiple systems. There might be differences in terms of environment, number of users, hours of usage, nature of data in/out and so-forth.

Components of Performance Tuning

A large system may need involvement from various specialists to tune various components. This may involve:

• Database Performance
  
• Query Performance
  
• Application Performance
  
• Browser Performance
  
• Network Performance
  
• Server Performance
  
• Environment and OS Performance
