Increasing Microsoft Dynamics 365 System Performance and Scalability
How to Build and Support Enterprise Scale Business Applications
Enroll in Course
System performance is a critical non-functional requirement in any application, yet it's seldom taken into account until after it becomes a problem. The worst thing that can happen after investing months in developing a system is for it to fail after being deployed to users. User feedback and politics can be quite brutal when a system fails to meet expectations and the consequences of a poorly performing system can be severe even to the point people lose their jobs. While system performance is often times looked at as an intangible aspect of application development it's based on design patterns and distributed system architecture principles that can be addressed.
In this course, we'll review Dynamics platform internals and take a pragmatic look at design anti-patterns we should avoid and mitigate in enterprise applications. This information which has never been presented to the public outside of Microsoft is derived from system performance research challenges and solutions of real world Microsoft enterprise customers.
In this course you will learn:
- The basic components of system performance
- The variables that play into how a system will behave after go live
- Load anti-patterns that are the most common causes of poor performance
- Design considerations that we can make proactively and mitigate retroactively in existing systems
