Optimizations #

This section contains a set of specific optimizations and practices for your applications and infrastructures when using with Acra.

Infrastructure management and configuration #

• Vertical scaling

  Describes how performance will grow with more CPU cores / memory added.

• Horizontal scaling

  Describes how performance will grow with instances being added.

• TLS configuration

  Contains few hints regarding TLS configuration effect on network performance.

• Obtaining metrics

  Contains detailed overview about metrics you can enable and collect via Prometheus.

• Disable debug logs

  Contains few flags that can be used for debugging purposes, but better to be disabled in production.

Data processing optimizations #

• AcraStructs vs AcraBlocks

  Describes difference between AcraStructs and AcraBlocks (encryption containers).

• DB indexes

  Contains important notes regarding proper database indexing while having some encrypted columns.

• LRU cache

  Describes which things could be cached in memory by Acra and how to enable this caching to improve performance.

Resources optimizations #

• Connection reuse

  Reminds that it is a good practice to reuse opened connections to database as much as possible.

• Zones performance

  Describes how Zones affect performance (zones are deprecated since 0.94.0, will be removed in 0.95.0).

• Enterprise kickstart

  Hints that Acra Enterprise Edition performance is better and describes which troubles your team can avoid when using Acra Enterprise Edition.
