How does this skill help with P99 latency?

It provides strategies for identifying tail latency causes, such as queueing delays or slow database queries, and offers patterns like parallel requests and speculative execution to mitigate them.

What protocols does this skill optimize?

It includes optimization techniques for HTTP/2, HTTP/3 (QUIC), and TLS 1.3 to reduce handshake overhead and round-trip times (RTT).

Can it help with global traffic routing?

Yes, it covers geographic routing strategies including GeoDNS, Anycast, and Load Balancer geo-routing to reduce the physical distance between users and servers.

Does it include database-specific advice?

Absolutely. It covers index optimization, connection pooling, and data proximity strategies to minimize database-related bottlenecks.

Analytics & Monitoring

Optimizes end-to-end performance and reduces response times across distributed systems by tuning network protocols, application logic, and database layers.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, measuring, and eliminating bottlenecks in software applications. It guides developers through complex optimizations including geographic routing strategies, protocol-level tuning (HTTP/3, TLS 1.3), database index optimization, and asynchronous processing patterns. Whether you're building real-time applications or scaling global services, this skill helps establish latency budgets and implement implementation patterns to ensure high-performance user experiences at the P99 level.
