Beyond Time Complexity: Unlocking Application Performance Secrets
Performance is a crucial factor for the success of any business or startup. To enhance the performance of an application, it is essential to consider various aspects beyond time complexity.
Every part of the process, from the client device to every component of the server and database, plays a role in the overall performance of your application.
Imagine you are baking a cake. The cake is the final product, but many steps are involved in making it. You need to gather the ingredients, mix them together, bake the cake, and let it cool. Each step takes time, and if you want to make the cake faster, you need to optimize each step.
