This guide provides advanced technical patterns for optimizing Exa API performance in production workloads. It covers critical strategies such as selecting the optimal search type based on latency budgets (e.g., instant vs. neural), implementing robust result caching using LRU, minimizing content retrieval size, and executing parallel queries to maximize throughput. Essential for building reliable, low-latency, and cost-effective search integrations.

A comprehensive guide for developers to measure, analyze, and optimize website and web application performance. Covers critical areas including Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), reducing JavaScript bundle size, implementing effective caching, and optimizing rendering paths to boost user experience and SEO rankings.

A comprehensive guide and methodology for identifying, measuring, and fixing performance bottlenecks across the entire stack. This skill covers optimizing database queries (e.g., N+1 problems, missing indexes), improving API efficiency (caching, parallel processing), and enhancing frontend performance (memoization, code splitting, image optimization). It emphasizes the critical 'Measure First' principle to ensure all optimizations are data-driven and effective.

A comprehensive guide to safely deploying new features to production. This methodology emphasizes moving beyond simple deployment by incorporating a detailed pre-launch checklist (covering security, performance, and accessibility), utilizing feature flags, and executing staged rollouts (Canary releases). It details best practices for observability, monitoring key metrics, and planning effective rollbacks.

This comprehensive guide covers best practices for building robust database systems. It teaches crucial concepts like schema normalization, effective indexing strategies, selecting the right database (e.g., SQLite vs PostgreSQL) and ORM, and optimizing queries to prevent common performance issues like N+1 problems. It emphasizes making context-aware architectural decisions.

This guide provides the reference architecture and instructions for automating TechSmith workflows. It details using the Snagit COM API and Camtasia Producer CLI for screen capture, video editing, and batch rendering processes. The architecture emphasizes using PowerShell and Python interop (pywin32) to manage complex automation tasks effectively.
