Architectural Perspectives

Performance

How can performance affect the software and how to measure it.

Performance is the measure for a software to complete a certain workload.

A performatic software is NOT the same as scalable software.

Performance Metrics

Latency (Response Time)

• How long does it take for the software to complete the workload.

• Usually in ms.

• It is affected by processing time of application, network and external calls.

Throughput

How many requests the software can take.
