Stepping into an unknown application landscape with the mission to improve its performance can be daunting. That's why we built a two-part blog series to help you tame this beast.

In this series you will discover how Blackfire is all about turning measurement into performance optimization, ensuring your next steps are driven by data.

And we will dive into the intricacies of defining a test boilerplate that could help us get started on setting up long-lasting control over the performance of an existing application.

In-depth knowledge of an application’s internal behavior and scaffolding is required, alongside understanding its inherent business value and global dynamics.

Let's get you started, and help you overcome the barriers in performance optimization due to gaps in understanding of both the macro and micro aspects of your applications.
