In this video, I explain 7 tips that you can apply to optimize your backend APIs without the need of caching. Caching is a great idea however cache invalidation is also worse so we try to squeeze as much performance of other areas much as possible.

Watch out for:

1. The serialization representation (XML/JSON, pbf)
2. Preheating connections
3. H1 vs H2
4. TCP meltdown (big distance)
5. Proxies
6. Large payload (select * )
7. Client-side processing (transforming the work)
