+# Задание 4
+
+## Актуальная проблема
+В проекте dev.to выявлена проблема производительности главной страницы:
+- Медленный рендеринг главной страницы (StoriesController#index) (Особенно затратный рендеринг partial-ов _single_story.html.erb)
+- Отсутствие кэширования страниц
+
+## Формирование метрик
+Для оценки эффективности оптимизации определены следующие метрики:
+
+- Время полной загрузки главной страницы
+- Время рендеринга partial _single_story.html.erb
+- Количество запросов к БД при рендеринге страницы
+- Использование CPU и памяти
+- Включил кеширование на локальном окружении
+- Использование `benchmark` с помощью `ab` (`ab -n 100 -c 5 http://localhost:3000/`)
+- Добавил local_production окружение
+
+## Feedback-Loop
+Построен быстрый цикл обратной связи:
+
+- NewRelic APM для мониторинга метрик
+- rack-mini-profiler для профилирования рендеринга
+- Поиск точек роста
+
+## Использованы инструменты профилирования:
+
+- NewRelic для анализа узких мест
+- rack-mini-profiler для детального профилирования рендеринга
+- Логи Rails для анализа SQL-запросов
+
+## Результаты оптимизации:
+
+### 1. Отсутствует local_production окружение
+#### Произвел замеры с использованием `ab` до добавления local_production:
+```
+Concurrency Level:      5
+Time taken for tests:   61.726 seconds
+Complete requests:      100
+Failed requests:        99
+   (Connect: 0, Receive: 0, Length: 99, Exceptions: 0)
+Total transferred:      16131253 bytes
+HTML transferred:       16030175 bytes
+Requests per second:    1.62 [#/sec] (mean)
+Time per request:       3086.288 [ms] (mean)
+Time per request:       617.258 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
+Transfer rate:          255.21 [Kbytes/sec] received
+```
+
+#### После добавления:
+```
+Concurrency Level:      5
+Time taken for tests:   14.988 seconds
+Complete requests:      100
+Failed requests:        0
+Total transferred:      13161800 bytes
+HTML transferred:       13115100 bytes
+Requests per second:    6.67 [#/sec] (mean)
+Time per request:       749.387 [ms] (mean)
+Time per request:       149.877 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
+Transfer rate:          857.59 [Kbytes/sec] received
+```
+- Время обработки всех запросов сократилось в 4 раза с 60 до 15 секунд. Также количество Failed сократилось с 99 до 0.
+
+### 2. Отсутствие кеширования partial-ов _single_story.html.erb
+- Readme задания и rack-mini-profiler
+- Добавил кеширование partial'а, учел, что в него входят счётчики лайков и комментариев.
+
+#### Замеры после добавления кеширования:
+```
+Concurrency Level:      5
+Time taken for tests:   7.179 seconds
+Complete requests:      100
+Failed requests:        0
+Total transferred:      13028000 bytes
+HTML transferred:       12981300 bytes
+Requests per second:    13.93 [#/sec] (mean)
+Time per request:       358.953 [ms] (mean)
+Time per request:       71.791 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
+Transfer rate:          1772.19 [Kbytes/sec] received
+```
+- Время обработки всех запросов сократилось в два раза с 14 до 7 секунд.
+- Время выполнения отдельного запроса составило 360ms
