Caching - What to Cache, and When to Cache (Part 3)
Caching is a broad topic (what isn't?). In this podcast, I've only tried to scratch the surface. How do you determine what to cache? And once you do, how do you go about it? #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com

Caching - Are you optimizing before identifying the problem? (Part 2)
If your pages take too long to render, caching may be a solution but before you go all out and start implementing or improving it, ask yourself if there are other fundamental problems that need addressing first (which led to the issues in the first place). #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com

When looking to make performance improvements, it is natural to look for that ”single” big problem. But, that’s hardly ever the case.
I've worked on making performance improvements across all tiers, and in a variety of ways within any given tier, during the course of my career and one thing I can say with a good degree of certainty is that it gets more challenging as you get closer to your goal. Reducing a page rendering time from 3 seconds to 1 second is a whole lot easier than reducing it to 900ms, then to 800ms, and then to 50ms! #snowpal aws.snowpal.com

Keep your code DRY. As in, super DRY! Code duplication is a maintenance nightmare.
You have to make a conscious effort to keep your code base DRY. Every time you make a change, add a feature, or fix a bug, make an effort to find duplication and to determine design patterns. This will play a huge role in keeping your code DRY, and maintainable in the long run. #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com

Libraries vs Frameworks (based on my rather loose definition of it!) - What’s your preference?
Some of us prefer a framework that offers a lot more than what we might initially want, while others prefer a library that is small and simple but offers the barest minimum. Based on that simplified definition, what do you generally lean towards? #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com
