Study Notes
Scaling and Optimization Experiences
-
Successfully led team migration from IBM MQ to Kafka at REI.
-
Ensured scalability by carefully planning Kafka's message processing for increased message volume without performance degradation.
-
This ensured the system could handle growth without impacting speed or reliability.
-
Integrated Redis as a caching layer to improve system performance by reducing database load.
-
Optimized Redis configuration to reduce latency and minimize memory footprint.
-
Focused on data retrieval speed and efficient memory usage under high load.
-
Optimized database performance by implementing indexing strategies during retail-stores project.
-
Improved query performance and allowed the system to scale with larger datasets without delays.
-
Constantly focused on maintaining efficiency while handling increases in demand – crucial principles of scaling and optimization.
