Performance API vs Server Side Logging
Developers should learn and use the Performance API when building web applications that require performance optimization, such as e-commerce sites, media-rich applications, or progressive web apps (PWAs), to identify bottlenecks and enhance load times meets developers should implement server side logging to troubleshoot production issues, track user behavior, and comply with security or regulatory requirements, such as auditing access logs. Here's our take.
Performance API
Developers should learn and use the Performance API when building web applications that require performance optimization, such as e-commerce sites, media-rich applications, or progressive web apps (PWAs), to identify bottlenecks and enhance load times
Performance API
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use the Performance API when building web applications that require performance optimization, such as e-commerce sites, media-rich applications, or progressive web apps (PWAs), to identify bottlenecks and enhance load times
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing performance budgets, A/B testing different optimizations, and gathering field data from real users to prioritize improvements based on actual impact
- +Related to: javascript, web-development
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Server Side Logging
Developers should implement Server Side Logging to troubleshoot production issues, track user behavior, and comply with security or regulatory requirements, such as auditing access logs
Pros
- +It is critical for applications with high availability needs, like e-commerce platforms or financial services, where real-time monitoring and historical analysis of server performance are necessary to prevent downtime and optimize resources
- +Related to: log-aggregation, structured-logging
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Performance API if: You want it is essential for implementing performance budgets, a/b testing different optimizations, and gathering field data from real users to prioritize improvements based on actual impact and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Server Side Logging if: You prioritize it is critical for applications with high availability needs, like e-commerce platforms or financial services, where real-time monitoring and historical analysis of server performance are necessary to prevent downtime and optimize resources over what Performance API offers.
