You came up with the idea, you put together the team. You’ve got a working application and the customers love it! You breath a sigh of relief . “The Hard Part™ is over”, you think.

It goes without saying that we want the application to remain online and performant, but to get where we’re going, we need to know where we’re starting.

A simple way to think about this is the frontend and backend code is a car. You can tune it’s engine or the aerodynamics of its body to increase it’s speed and efficiency.

While you can tune your fuel and oil a bit to give your car more power or efficiency, it’s primary purpose is to provide a steady and reliable supply of energy for the car to get you over to FoodCo for dinner. Even the best car isn’t good without fuel!

Performance and reliability issues can involve any of these portions. In our experience we’ve generally seen most issues on the backend (The engine isn’t tuned right), followed by issues with resource constraints on the infrastructure (Insufficient fuel).
