A recent edition of Swiss Computerworld Magazine highlights the top 10 performance issues encountered in software development, focusing on problems such as excessive database calls, over-synchronization, and inefficient remote communication. The article emphasizes the need for developers to optimize object-relational mappers, correctly manage memory to prevent leaks, and conduct thorough evaluations of third-party code to avoid potential pitfalls. Additionally, it discusses the negative impact of resource mismanagement, bloated web frontends, and improper caching strategies, as well as the challenges posed by intermittent issues and costly serialization processes. The magazine also encourages learning from the experiences of companies like Zappos and Monster, who have shared their strategies in webinars to improve performance management and develop best practices.
