## Best Practices
### 1. Performance Best Practices
1. **Monitor Continuously**: Set up continuous monitoring of key metrics
2. **Profile Regularly**: Use profiling to identify bottlenecks

### 2. Resource Management Best Practices
1. **Set Limits**: Always set memory and CPU limits
2. **Monitor Usage**: Continuously monitor resource usage
3. **Implement Backpressure**: Handle overload gracefully
4. **Use Caching**: Cache frequently accessed data
5. **Optimize Queries**: Use efficient query patterns
### 3. Deployment Best Practices
1. **Horizontal Scaling**: Use multiple instances for high availability
2. **Load Balancing**: Distribute load across instances
3. **Resource Isolation**: Isolate resources per instance
4. **Monitoring**: Implement comprehensive monitoring
5. **Alerting**: Set up alerts for performance issues
