Thought of the day : know your application choking points

I was reading yesterday that government healthcare websites crumbled because users  have to create their user login and password to even browse the website.

This process was going through some gateways that caused the congestion

One should always know the bottlenecks in the application.

Own the best profiler and know what are the weak points.

Have solutions for those weak points.

Know the traffic and concurrent users to your website
