⚡ Performance Engineering Language
6 exercise sets. Master performance metrics vocabulary, profiler output language, load testing terminology, bottleneck identification, and SLO & error budget vocabulary.
Performance Metrics Vocabulary
Latency, throughput, p95/p99, baseline, degradation — core vocabulary for discussing performance metrics.
Reading Profiler Output
Flame graphs, hot paths, CPU time vs. wall time, call stacks — vocabulary for interpreting performance profiling output.
Load Testing Vocabulary
Ramp-up, steady-state, soak test, spike test, stress test — types of load tests and vocabulary for discussing results.
Bottleneck Identification Language
Vocabulary for identifying and communicating performance bottlenecks: CPU-bound, I/O-bound, memory pressure, GC pauses.
SLO & Error Budget Vocabulary
SLI, SLO, SLA, error budget, burn rate, budget exhaustion — vocabulary for reliability-performance trade-off discussions.
Performance Review Discussion Language
Vocabulary for performance engineering conversations: presenting optimisation results, discussing trade-offs, communicating findings to stakeholders.
