A4: How to assure performance (execution speed)?
Provide different flavors to different needs - do not give everything for free
to ensure performance you need to not waste your resources
set defaults that satisfy minimum requirements and provide presets for scaling up demands
setup an easy request process for developers to get more resources when business needs justify them
identify for how long the resources need to be kept
Identify the outcome of a high performance
justify the resources cost with the business value
sometimes people operate with a “more is better” attitude and do not realize that this comes with a cost
identifying the business value of the investment is critical to ensure performance when performance is critical
performance is not measured in absolute numbers but in relation to the business needs
be transparent on the return or investment due to the competition of resources to better justify your decisions
