# Performance Skills

## Overview

Performance optimization knowledge for building fast, scalable applications
that provide excellent user experience.

## Key Metrics

| Metric | Target | Description |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| **TTFB** | < 200ms | Time to First Byte |
| **FCP** | < 1.8s | First Contentful Paint |
| **LCP** | < 2.5s | Largest Contentful Paint |
| **FID** | < 100ms | First Input Delay |
| **CLS** | < 0.1 | Cumulative Layout Shift |
| **API Response** | < 200ms | P95 response time |
| **Database Query** | < 50ms | P95 query time |
| **Memory Usage** | < 80% | Application memory threshold |

## Quick Reference

### Response Time Targets

| Operation Type | Target | Maximum |
|---------------|--------|---------|
| Static assets | < 50ms | 100ms |
| API read | < 100ms | 200ms |
| API write | < 200ms | 500ms |
| Search | < 200ms | 500ms |
| Report generation | < 2s | 5s |
| File upload | < 5s | 30s |

### Caching Strategy by Data Type

| Data Type | Cache Location | TTL |
|-----------|---------------|-----|
| Static assets | CDN | 1 year |
| User session | Redis | 30 min |
| User profile | Redis | 1 hour |
| Product catalog | Redis + CDN | 6 hours |
| Search results | Redis | 5 min |
| Config | Memory | 24 hours |

## Integration with F5 Framework

### Quality Gate Integration

Performance requirements should be defined in quality gates:

```yaml
# .f5/quality/gates-status.yaml
gates:
  G2:
    performance:
      api_p95_response: "< 200ms"
      database_p95_query: "< 50ms"
      memory_usage: "< 80%"
```

### Traceability

Performance requirements should be traceable:

```typescript
// NFR-PERF-001: API response time must be under 200ms at P95
export async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
  // implementation
}
```
