Cached API Latency
Infrastructure Performance That Scales
Database tuning, caching layers, CDN configuration
Database query optimisation and indexing
Multi-layer caching strategies (Redis, Varnish, CDN)
CDN configuration and edge caching
Application profiling and bottleneck analysis
Load balancer tuning and SSL optimisation
Infrastructure resource right-sizing
Real-time monitoring and alerting
Capacity planning and scaling strategies
Slow database queries cause bottlenecks at scale. We analyse query execution plans, add strategic indexes, and implement connection pooling with tools like ProxySQL. Database caching stores query results in memory, reducing load and speeding data retrieval significantly.

Performance Optimisation Process
Data-driven methodology for measurable results
Performance Audit & Baseline
In-depth analysis of your infrastructure using profiling tools, load testing, and real-user monitoring. Identify bottlenecks, measure baseline metrics, and prioritise optimisations by impact. Deploy full-stack monitoring with APM tools, custom metrics, and alerting for continuous visibility.
Database & Query Optimisation
Optimise slow queries, add strategic indexes, configure connection pooling, and implement query caching. Tune database parameters for your specific workload patterns and hardware. Profiling reveals specific bottlenecks, whilst connection pooling prevents database exhaustion during traffic spikes.
Multi-Layer Caching Strategy
Implement multi-layer caching: application cache (Redis), HTTP cache (Varnish), and CDN edge cache. Configure TTLs, cache invalidation, and warming strategies for optimal hit ratios. Track performance regressions, validate improvement impacts with real data, and tune cache efficiency continuously.

Performance Optimisation Benefits
Business impact of infrastructure performance
Lightning-Fast Response Times
2-10x faster loads
Multi-layer caching with Redis, Varnish, and Cloudflare achieves sub-second page loads and API responses. Strategic database indexing and query optimisation eliminate bottlenecks, whilst CDN edge caching serves content from locations nearest to users.
Dramatic Cost Reduction
30-70% cost savings
Properly configured caching reduces origin server load, with typical 60-80% origin load reduction meaning fewer servers handle the same traffic volume. Right-sizing infrastructure based on actual usage patterns eliminates waste from over-provisioned resources, translating directly to lower cloud bills.
Massive Capacity Increase
3-5x capacity increase
Caching efficiency means origin servers process a small fraction of total requests, dramatically increasing capacity. Database connection pooling and query optimisation prevent database bottlenecks at scale, enabling horizontal scaling at predictable costs.
Superior User Experience
2-8% conversion lift per second
Faster load times correlate directly with higher conversion rates, lower bounce rates, and improved SEO rankings. Studies show roughly 2-8% conversion improvement per second of load time reduction. Multi-layer caching creates resilience, ensuring infrastructure stays responsive during peak periods and gracefully degrades rather than failing completely.
