- What do you already need to know?
- What is the most efficient path through the material for your goal?

The Core Idea
Most backend performance problems are not framework problems. They are computer science problems that manifest at the framework layer.
When an API is slow because of N+1 queries, the fix is not "upgrade your ORM". The fix is understanding why O(N) queries is worse than O(1) — an algorithms problem — combined with understanding that each query crosses the network — a networking problem. Both of those root causes are covered in BSPS.
Start Here
Read how-to-use-this-system.md first. Then prerequisites.md to assess where you are. Then learning-path.md to choose your path.
