New Software Performance AntiPatterns: More Ways to Shoot Yourself in the Foot

Performance antipatterns document common software performance problems as well as their solutions. These problems are often introduced during the architectural or design phases of software development, but not detected until later in testing or deployment. Solutions usually require software changes as opposed to system tuning changes. This paper presents three new performance antipatterns and gives examples to illustrate them. These antipatterns will help developers and performance engineers avoid common performance problems.
