|

<p>Things got a bit slow this week—so we made three changes to improve pageload times across the site! <em>(Also, I'm job-hunting right now!)</em></p>
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Hi, everyone! You might've noticed earlier this week that DTI had started to
|
||||
stutter a bit. We experienced a bit of a traffic spike, and pageloads would
|
||||
sometimes start taking a few seconds. (My phone was ringing off the hook to let
|
||||
me know!)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When we dug into it, there wasn't any _specific_ cause—just a bit more pressure
|
||||
causing our database to max out our server's CPU a bit too often.
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than just throw more CPU at the problem (always an option, but never a
|
||||
cheap one!), we popped open the slow query log. We found the worst offenders,
|
||||
and started getting to work fixing database queries that have _always_ been a
|
||||
bit slow—in some cases, for many years!
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the three big changes we made:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Item searches:** We
|
||||
[sped](https://code.openneo.net/OpenNeo/impress/commit/efda6d74ab6b9405cd563ccc72bb45b4f10eabe3)
|
||||
[up](https://code.openneo.net/OpenNeo/impress/commit/efda6d74ab6b9405cd563ccc72bb45b4f10eabe3)
|
||||
some of our tougher filters (`occupies` and `fits`) from taking a couple
|
||||
seconds at worst, to always nearly instant! _(We did this by "caching" more
|
||||
data about the item's appearance onto the item record itself.)_
|
||||
- **Trade listings:** Earlier this year, we added the Offering/Seeking pages to
|
||||
Classic DTI, and built them faster than the Impress 2020 versions. Now, we've
|
||||
[deleted](https://code.openneo.net/OpenNeo/impress-2020/commit/067da33025cbf5ed92707efa1558a658135e310e)
|
||||
Impress 2020's slower version of the page, redirecting to Classic's faster one
|
||||
instead. _(This brings us closer to [merging
|
||||
the apps]({% post_url 2024-09-20-state-of-dti-2024 %}#simplicity), too!)_
|
||||
- **Modeling progress:** When we're missing data for new items, we ask for help
|
||||
at the bottom of the homepage—and we
|
||||
[used the same upgrades](https://code.openneo.net/OpenNeo/impress/commit/03e4233f67935b6e8998904d41305fb41f7660af)
|
||||
from item searches to make this faster, too. _(We also
|
||||
[fixed](https://code.openneo.net/OpenNeo/impress/commit/fe4db1b60571cbc2b6d295cfc1230f2ebbc6f3bb)
|
||||
the long-standing bug of Maraquan items asking for more help than we need!)_
|
||||
|
||||
And these changes don't just affect these features: when our CPU starts to peak,
|
||||
_everything_ gets slower. And so when we make the site more efficient and stop
|
||||
hitting those limits, _everything_ gets faster!
|
||||
|
||||
Since then, the site has been back to being steady, and I've been glad to see
|
||||
item searches—one of the most common things that happens on the site—run much
|
||||
faster for everyone!! And it's always a joy to clean up decade-old code and
|
||||
bring it closer to what it always deserved to be 🥰
|
||||
|
||||
Hope everyone's doing well, and that you've got fun Halloween plans! I'm excited
|
||||
to see your pets all dressed up again this year!!
|
||||
|
||||
## By the way, I'm job-hunting right now! {#job-hunting}
|
||||
|
||||
After a few years consulting part-time, I'm looking for a full-time role again!
|
||||
(The tech layoffs came for me and my family, whuh oh—time to step it up!)
|
||||
|
||||
_\[Lore dump!\]_ In addition to running Dress to Impress for 15 years, I've also
|
||||
been a senior engineer and tech lead at an edtech nonprofit (2015–2020), focused
|
||||
in B2B partnerships, team mentorship, and building integrated platforms to
|
||||
support multiple products across teams.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm primarily looking for remote roles hiring in the United States, leveled at
|
||||
senior or staff—but some of that could be flexible for the right situation!
|
||||
|
||||
Right now, I'm especially interested in:
|
||||
|
||||
- Consulting firms, especially with a focus in nonprofit
|
||||
- Stewarding critical integrations long-term, like identity or payments
|
||||
- Shifting to information security, or technical writing
|
||||
- Engineering management, for the right human-focused team
|
||||
|
||||
If you happen to have an opportunity, please
|
||||
[reach out](mailto:dti-jobs-thank-youuu@matchu.dev) and let me know! It'd help
|
||||
me out a lot.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for taking a look!
|
||||
_—Matchu_
