The Infrastructure Bottleneck

Latency isn’t just a network issue. Database design, API performance, and memory allocation also matter.

Tech Stack Optimisation

Hybrid cloud, edge computing, and intelligent caching can close the latency gap.

Best Practices

• Use regional edge servers for inference

• Minimise roundtrips with local data handling

• Profile and refactor APIs for sub-100ms response

• Select memory-first databases

• Monitor latency metrics in production, not just staging

Key Takeaways

• Speed enables real-time personalisation

• Distributed systems need edge-first strategies

• Monitoring tools must be embedded, not external

• Low latency improves both UX and energy use
