Performance & Scaling
Sound familiar?

Your system is getting slow?
We find the bottlenecks.

When your system slows down, timeouts occur, and server costs explode, we find the bottlenecks. Performance problems cost revenue, trust, and productivity – but they are solvable.

Typical Symptoms

Does this sound familiar?

Long Load Times

Pages take 5+ seconds, users abandon

Timeouts Under Load

During peaks, the system slows down or crashes

Database Issues

Queries take forever, locking blocks processes

High Server Costs

Scaling only possible through more hardware

Poor Web Vitals

LCP, INP, and other metrics in the red zone

API Timeouts

Interfaces respond too slowly or not at all

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ on Performance & Scaling

What delivers the fastest results?

Typically: query optimization (indexes, N+1), caching, payload reduction, and better observability. These measures can usually be implemented quickly and deliver noticeable improvements.

Do we need to scale immediately?

Not necessarily. It's often more efficient to fix bottlenecks and define budgets first. Scaling then becomes a controlled option – rather than an emergency.

How do we measure success?

With clear KPIs: Core Web Vitals, API p95/p99, error rates, queue lengths, DB IO/CPU, and cost per transaction. We make the values visible and keep them stable.

What does a performance audit cost?

An initial performance check with hotspot analysis starts at approx. €3,500. Implementation depends on scope – quick wins are often realized within a few days.

Performance Optimization: Data-Driven, Not Guesswork

Slow systems cost businesses real money. Studies show that every additional second of load time reduces the conversion rate by an average of seven percent. For an online shop with one million euros in monthly revenue, improving load time by just two seconds means a potential revenue increase of over €100,000 per year. But performance problems don't only affect web shops: internal applications that respond sluggishly also cost productivity and frustrate employees who work with them daily.

The most common mistake in performance optimization is addressing the wrong areas. Without thorough analysis, companies invest in faster servers, additional instances, or more expensive cloud plans without improving perceived speed. The reason: the actual bottlenecks rarely lie in computing power, but in inefficient database queries, missing indexes, oversized payloads, synchronous calls that should be asynchronous, or caching strategies that don't match usage patterns.

Our performance audit therefore always begins with a data-driven assessment. We measure load times, analyze database queries, identify N+1 problems, check caching effectiveness, and examine the entire request chain from the first DNS resolution to complete page rendering. We use profiling tools, APM systems, and Real User Monitoring to understand not just lab values, but the actual user experience.

Based on this analysis, we create a prioritized list of optimization measures, sorted by the ratio of effort to impact. Our experience shows that the first three to five measures often already deliver 80 percent of the noticeable improvement. Typical quick wins include optimizing critical SQL queries, introducing multi-level caching strategies, reducing API payloads, parallelizing independent calls, and implementing lazy loading for content not immediately visible.

For long-term scalability, we go beyond individual optimizations and consider the architecture as a whole. Horizontal scaling, read replicas for databases, content delivery networks, asynchronous processing with message queues, and auto-scaling strategies are building blocks that ensure your system isn't just fast today, but keeps up with growing demands. We always focus on cost efficiency – more infrastructure is only the right answer when the software is already working optimally.

Especially for e-commerce systems and SaaS platforms, performance is a direct competitive advantage. Google evaluates Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor, and users expect response times under one second. We help you not only meet these expectations but exceed them – with measurable results that translate into better search engine rankings, higher conversion rates, and more satisfied users.

After optimization, we set up continuous performance monitoring that ensures the improvements achieved are maintained long-term. Automatic alerts warn your team when metrics deteriorate, and performance budgets prevent new features from unknowingly degrading load times. This makes performance awareness a permanent part of your development process.
