Performance Optimization
Slow software loses users, revenue, and trust. We profile your entire stack — application, database, network, and frontend — pinpoint the bottlenecks, and deliver measurable speed gains you can see in production.
Every 100ms of latency costs you conversions.
Google found that a 0.5-second delay in search results reduced traffic by 20%. Amazon calculated that every 100ms of added latency cost 1% in sales. Performance isn't a nice-to-have — it's a revenue lever.
Yet most teams guess at performance problems. They throw more hardware at slow endpoints, add caching in the wrong places, or optimise code that isn't on the critical path. CBM takes a data-driven approach — profile first, prove the bottleneck, fix it surgically, and benchmark the result.

What We Deliver
Every layer of your stack, faster
Performance bottlenecks hide everywhere — in application code, database queries, network hops, and frontend bundles. We hunt them down across the full stack.
Application Profiling
Flame graphs, CPU sampling, and memory allocation analysis across your runtime — identify the exact function, query, or dependency burning your latency budget.
Database & Query Tuning
Slow-query analysis, index optimisation, connection pool tuning, and N+1 detection — turn your database from the bottleneck into the backbone.
CDN & Edge Caching
Cache-hit ratio audits, edge-rule design, origin-shield configuration, and asset optimisation — serve content from the closest node in under 50ms.
Frontend Performance
Bundle analysis, code splitting, lazy loading, image optimisation, and Core Web Vitals tuning — fast first paint, smooth interactions, zero layout shift.
Load & Stress Testing
Realistic traffic simulation with k6, Locust, or Gatling — find your breaking point in staging, not production, and capacity-plan with confidence.
Infrastructure Right-Sizing
CPU, memory, and I/O profiling at the host and container level — eliminate over-provisioning, fix resource contention, and cut compute costs without sacrificing speed.
How We Work
Measure, optimise, prove, protect
Performance Audit
We baseline your application — response times, throughput, error rates, and resource utilisation — across every critical user journey and infrastructure layer.
Bottleneck Analysis
Profiling, tracing, and load testing to pinpoint the root causes — slow queries, serialised locks, memory leaks, unoptimised assets, or misconfigured infrastructure.
Optimise & Validate
Targeted fixes deployed iteratively — each change benchmarked against the baseline with A/B traffic or canary releases to prove measurable improvement.
Guard & Scale
Performance budgets, automated regression tests in CI/CD, and capacity planning — so speed gains stick and your system scales predictably under growth.
Technology
The right tool for every bottleneck.
From flame-graph profilers to global CDNs, we use best-in-class tooling matched to your language, framework, and infrastructure.
