Performance Optimization with Agents
Agents love to optimise, but without measurements they often fix the wrong thing. In this half-day workshop you learn a disciplined loop: measure, find the bottleneck, let the agent propose a change, then measure again. Your engineers stay in control of what is worth optimising. We use your own application or a sandbox project with a known performance problem.

Who it is for
- Backend and frontend developers facing slow endpoints or pages
- Tech leads who want performance work to be evidence-based
- Engineers who use agents but distrust their optimisation suggestions
What your team will be able to do
- Apply a measure, change, verify loop to performance work
- Feed profiler output and query plans to an agent in a useful way
- Distinguish real bottlenecks from premature optimisation
- Reject agent changes that trade readability for unmeasured gains
- Add performance checks to the delivery process
Agenda
- Measure before you optimiseSet up a baseline with profiling, tracing or benchmarks and define what good enough means.
- Finding the bottleneckUse profiler output, slow query analysis and traces to locate the actual cost, with the agent as an assistant for interpretation.
- Agent-proposed fixesPrompt the agent with evidence, review its proposals critically and apply them in small steps.
- Verify and guardRe-measure, compare against the baseline and add regression checks so gains are not lost later.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages and layers do you cover?
We focus on the layer where your team feels the problem, for example database queries, backend code or frontend rendering, and use the tools of your stack.
Will the agent find the problem by itself?
It can help interpret evidence, but it needs measurements to work from. We teach how to supply them.
Is this suitable for production systems?
We work in a test or sandbox environment. Rolling changes to production remains a decision for your team.
