Abstract

System performance bottlenecks are a critical issue in the design, operation, and scalability of software and hardware systems. These bottlenecks arise when a specific component or process limits the overall performance of a system, thereby affecting user experience, efficiency, and operational costs. Identifying, diagnosing, and mitigating performance bottlenecks are essential tasks for systems administrators, developers, and IT professionals. This paper examines the various types of system performance bottlenecks, strategies for identifying them, common causes, and the latest approaches for mitigation. Through a detailed review of current practices, tools, and case studies, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive framework for effectively managing system performance bottlenecks in diverse environments.
