Infrastructure Performance Engineering
Infrastructure performance engineering is the disciplined work of measuring how compute, memory, storage, and networks serve demand, then removing the constraint that limits a service. It turns latency and capacity symptoms into evidence-based engineering decisions.

Intro
Infrastructure Performance Engineering
Infrastructure performance engineering connects a service's user-visible behavior to the finite resources that run it. You measure demand, latency, errors, saturation, and resource pressure together. You then form a testable explanation before changing a limit, instance type, query, or deployment.
The goal is not to keep every graph low. A resource can be busy while a service meets its objectives. The concern is sustained contention, queues, throttling, or stalls that increase latency, reduce throughput, or cause errors.
