Chapter 1: Introduction

This document provides an overview of ways to improve performance for EAServer applications. There are many variables involved for application throughput and response times. In addition to tweaking the code in your application for optimum performance, you can tune EAServer based on application specifics as well.

This chapter describes key performance concepts, tools to test and measure performance, and techniques for measuring performance and identifying areas where your tuning efforts will have the greatest impact on overall performance.

The recommendations in this book are general guidelines. Results vary depending on the design of your application, hardware and network configuration, and other factors. For best results, you should monitor and measure performance as you fine-tune the configuration and application.
