16 – Understand ongoing performance and optimization options
What processes and procedures do you put in place to measure performance changes and opportunities for optimization? Baseline your applications performance requirement from its historical monitoring data and set relevant alerts to inform system administrators when deviations occur. Have procedures in place for system admins to remediate such issues with manual or automated actions.
| ID | Priority | Best Practice |
|---|---|---|
| ☐ BP 16.1 | Required | Have data to evaluate performance |
| ☐ BP 16.2 | Required | Establish baseline performance requirements |
| ☐ BP 16.3 | Highly Recommended | Identify performance trends using data |
| ☐ BP 16.4 | Highly Recommended | Identify and triage performance issues |
| ☐ BP 16.5 | Highly Recommended | Scale to meet performance demands |
| ☐ BP 16.6 | Recommended | Develop mechanisms for simulating production load for analysis purposes |
| ☐ BP 16.7 | Recommended | Continually optimize sizing and configuration based on performance data |
