6 Common Causes of Application Performance Issues
Blog post from Sentry
Application performance issues can be caused by various factors such as network latency, slow servers, database problems, code quality, misconfigurations, and third-party dependencies. To address these issues, developers should optimize API requests, use asynchronous communication, monitor and trace server-side issues, implement query optimization, improve code quality through regular refactoring and testing, configure resources appropriately, regularly audit third-party libraries, and isolate third-party calls using background workers or async processing. Using a comprehensive debuggability platform like Sentry can help developers efficiently discover, trace, and resolve performance problems in their applications.
