Identify and Resolve Slowness Issues in Web Application Hosted on AWS

Our AWS-hosted web application intermittently experiences slowness that affects performance. The application relies on SQL databases and uses a combination of SOAP and REST services for data handling.

We are seeking an experienced performance specialist to:

1. Analyze and identify the root cause of slowness in the application.
2. Suggest optimizations to enhance performance and reduce latency.
3. Provide clear documentation of findings along with actionable recommendations.

Requirements:

• Strong background in optimizing web applications hosted on AWS.
• Expertise in SQL query optimization, identifying high CPU/memory usage sources, and overall performance tuning.
• Familiarity with diagnosing issues in SOAP and REST APIs under heavy data loads.

Deliverables:

• Comprehensive analysis report with identified root causes.
• Recommendations for resolving the slowness and improving application stability.
• Assistance in implementing initial optimizations where feasible.

Skills Needed:
AWS performance tuning, SQL query optimization, web application performance analysis, troubleshooting SOAP/REST APIs.

Please share examples of similar work and outline your proposed approach for identifying and resolving these issues.
