Application performance is always a concern when building in the modern, competitive web and mobile space. At Scout, it’s why we created application performance monitoring tools in the first place. That said, there are steps you can take to build a more performant application. If you are using Ruby on Rails, caching might be one of the best tools on your belt to build a better application.

Most of the day to day work for knowledge workers is spent helping the business make better decisions, like choosing whether it’s worth expending the effort (or actual money) to achieve the desired business goal. The example I often use when talking about ML is churn prediction (and I’m starting to think I’m overusing it now). It costs money to retain a customer who is thinking of moving, but this is less than the cost of getting new customers.
In February 2017, I was out on a routine training ride when I made a turn on loose gravel. Next thing I knew, I was laying on the pavement. Just like that, I broke my hip and collar bone, and I knew I woudn’t be able to race in the Ironman Lake Placid that year. So, I adjusted from racing to recovery. And, I’m happy to report, I returned to racing in 2019, completing the Ironman Lake Placid that year.

Since its release in 2015, GraphQL has become the alternative to REST. It gives frontend developers the flexibility they craved for so long. Over are the days of begging backend developers for one-purpose-endpoints. Now a query can define all the data that is needed and request it in one go, cutting latency down by quite a bit, at least in theory. With REST, things were entirely a bit simpler — especially monitoring.
We have just released the PHP Extension version 5.0.62 which includes a new feature, instrumentation for GraphQL queries made using the webonyx/graphql-php package, the most widespread GraphQL server package for PHP, for example by Magento 2.
