🚀 Identifying Performance Issues in Laravel

Hey there! 👋

I've got a quick blog post for you this week:

⚡ Identifying Performance Issues in Laravel with Inspector

Performance is such an important part of a web application. A slow-running application can frustrate users and lead to a poor user experience. This can be especially bad if your website's main goal is to convert traffic to paying customers (such as a SaaS application or an e-commerce store) as it might lead to a loss in revenue.

Poor application performance can also lead to an increase in spending on your infrastructure as you might need to add more resources (such as more servers or database instances) to handle the increased load. You might notice this more if you're using a serverless system, such as AWS Lambda, which costs more money the longer it runs.

So having an overview of your application's performance is important. If your application starts to slow down, you need to know which parts are running slow and why. But without the right tools and data, it can be difficult to know where to start. This is where application performance monitoring (APM) comes in.

In this article, we're going to look at what application performance monitoring is and the benefits of using it. We'll also look at how you can use Inspector, an APM service, to identify performance bottlenecks in your Laravel application.
