Finding the tail, killing the p95, and keeping the lights on.
Slow is a bug. I profile, load-test, and harden systems so your p95 stays flat during traffic spikes and your on-call sleeps through the night.
Find the actual bottlenecks.
Break it under load on purpose.
Remove the tail, measure the win.
SLOs, alerts, and runbooks.
A performance engagement with defined targets.
BEST FOR: p95 problemsOngoing reliability engineering.
BEST FOR: on-call reliefMost engagements cut p95 latency by 40-70% and reduce on-call pages by eliminating the known tail, within the first few weeks.
