ApacheCon EU 2016

Even if developers can avoid bothering about performances in the early stages of their application development cycle, they should always keep away from a set of common mistakes. As a matter of fact, those mistakes can easily undermine performances when it comes to scaling the work load. Throughout this presentation, I'm showing best practices and common mistakes using simple code examples (in some cases coming from Apache projects' sources). I'm talking about how to avoid common causes of memory waste and explaining the reason why efficient memory allocation leads to performant and scalable applications. Finally, I'm showing how to leverage some tools for performance analysis.
