Microsoft presents: Profiling First - How to Diagnose Performance Issues
Performance issues in Business Central application code can be frustrating, but diagnosing them doesn't have to be.
In this session, we'll show why *background profiling* should be your first step when troubleshooting performance problems reported by customers. Microsoft has made significant improvements to the profiler in the new release, making it easier to pinpoint bottlenecks and understand execution flow.
You'll learn how to use the profiler across different contexts: UI, web services, job queues, and other background sessions. We'll also explore complementary tools that help complete the picture.
If you are a partner supporting customer solutions, the tools and techniques presented in this session are invaluable for diagnosing issues quickly and effectively.
