Your project's performance depends on three main resources in the server, and knowing what each one does helps you understand how your application behaves.
The three resources
The processor carries out the calculations, the memory holds the data in use at that moment, and the storage keeps your files and database permanently.
How they affect you
- A stronger processor means faster responses under load.
- More memory lets you serve more visitors at once.
- Faster storage improves database performance.
- The balance between the three is the secret of good performance.
