Performance Improvement & Scalability


The best approach to improve the performance and scalability is to pre calculate the logic and cache the results.

All computer systems are surviving heavy loads due to caching.

When a request with matching parameter arrives just serve the information from the cache. This is particularly true for availability searches in the case of hotels, airlines etc.



The one word mantra : CACHE IT.
