Hi everyone,
I’ve recently started working with DreamFactory for managing APIs and I’m really impressed with its capabilities so far. However, as our project is scaling, I’ve noticed that API response times are starting to lag, especially under heavier loads. I’d really appreciate any practical strategies or tips for optimizing API performance specifically within DreamFactory.
Are there best practices for caching, rate limiting, or load balancing that work well here? Also, how effective is DreamFactory’s native caching, and is it recommended to integrate external tools like Redis or Varnish for better results?
I’m also curious about database tuning and how it impacts DreamFactory’s performance. Should we be optimizing queries directly from the database side, or is it better to handle that through stored procedures and scripts within DreamFactory?
Lastly, I’m exploring DevOps practices to streamline deployment and monitoring. What is DevOps bringing to the table in terms of maintaining a high-performing DreamFactory environment?
Looking forward to hearing from the experienced folks here. Your insights would really help me plan ahead.
Thanks,
Darcie
