Performance Frame

The performance and scalability frame to help you organize and prioritize performance and scalability issues.

Category	Key Considerations
Caching	Per user; application-wide; data volatility
Communication	Transport mechanism; boundaries; remote interface design; round trips; serialization; bandwidth
Concurrency	Transactions; locks; threading; queuing
Coupling and Cohesion	Loose coupling and high cohesion
Data Structures and Algorithms	Choice of algorithm; Arrays versus collections
Resource Management	Allocating; creating; destroying; pooling
State Management	Per user; application-wide; persistence; location

The categories in the frame are a prioritized set of technology-agnostic common denominators that are pervasive across applications. You can use the categories to build evaluation criteria where performance and scalability decisions can have a large impact.
