Performance and Scalability Consulting

As businesses evolve, achieving and maintaining the desired performance becomes a challenge. The growing client base and data size degrade the application’s performance. Massive scaling needs and high performance under extreme load are becoming the most important common denominators.

In today’s business for large-scale companies, even a few milliseconds (ms) of degradation in performance adversely affects the revenue. 

Studies have shown that 40 percent of shoppers will wait no more than three seconds before abandoning a retail or travel site. A report by a leading e-commerce website states that every 100-ms increase in the page load time decreased sales by 1 percent, while a leading search engine website stated that a 500-ms increase in the search results display time reduced revenue by 20 percent.  Hence, to meet the clients’ expectations and to stay ahead of the competition, software performance and scalability have become the prime requirements of every business.

The conventional or historically known good architecture and technology stacks fail to meet the performance and scalability expectations of today’s businesses. The process of addressing performance and scalability issues becomes very challenging due to the rapid pace of technology evolution, increasingly diverse technology stacks, and complex deployment environments. Providing solutions to these needs under the constraints of existing technology choices, architecture, and investment calls for specialized performance and scalability engineering expertise, along with a deep knowledge of various use case-specific technology stacks, middleware platforms, and compute alternatives.

Security Consulting

 

Software, including web applications and services, forms the backbone of business processes in today’s highly competitive business environment. Web applications and services have enabled businesses to virtually reach out to their customers across the world. However, the World Wide Web is an unpoliced environment with many unscrupulous users who pose a security threat to business applications. A security breach can cause monetary losses and ruin the reputation of a business.

According to an article published on csoonline.com (The 15 Worst Data Security Breaches of the 21st Century), a Fortune 1000 company was attacked with an SQL Injection, resulting in the exposure of 134 million credit cards. In another related incident, 94 million credit cards were exposed through one American Apparel and Home Goods Company because of weak data encryption or weak network firewall configuration or both. Hackers generally exploit basic vulnerabilities ignored during development due to a lack of awareness regarding security measures or the absence of a dedicated focus on software security.

Software security, being spread across all the phases of the software development cycle (that is, Design, Development, Configuration, and Deployment), should be considered right at the beginning of the design and development phases. Unfortunately, in most cases, security is considered a post-development activity. As a result, any security breach detected at a later phase results in a costly impact on the overall development.

To safeguard a software application, one requires a thorough understanding of the space with continuous updates on new threats. Online communities dedicated to web application security, such as OWASP and SANS, regularly collect information about vulnerabilities and security attacks. Based on their assessment, the respective online community provides guidelines to safeguard applications against those vulnerabilities. An appropriate plan should be in place to adhere to these guidelines.
