Speeding up Code, Webpages and Teams

" summary

Rocket Internet cuts latency with concrete tooling and rules: a bad join that counts in 8.5s becomes 2.5ms by proper indexing, frontends handle 5,000 RPM per node and instances see up to 300,000 DB writes/sec, and FoodPanda halves page load from ~8s to ~4s with a measured ~25% conversion lift. The stack uses New Relic, Chrome Navigation Timing API and PHP tweaks like HipHop VM, plus lazy-loading, move tracking after onload, mobile‑first assets, Kanban, daily deploys, 3‑month timeboxes and cross‑functional teams.
