# Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework skill for the Performance Optimization pillar

## Attribution

**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read and follow the instructions in
[Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md).

## Overview

The Performance Optimization pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected
Framework provides principles and recommendations to help you design, build, and
operate high-performing workloads. It focuses on efficiently allocating
resources, leveraging modular architectures, and using data-driven insights to
continuously monitor and improve performance as your business needs evolve.

## Core principles

The recommendations in the performance optimization pillar of the
Well-Architected Framework are aligned with the following core principles:

-   **Plan resource allocation**: Carefully select and configure the compute,
    storage, and networking resources that best match the specific requirements
    of your workload. Grounding document:
    https://docs.cloud.google.com/architecture/framework/performance-optimization/plan-resource-allocation.md.txt

-   **Take advantage of elasticity**: Utilize automated scaling and serverless
    technologies to dynamically adjust resource capacity in response to
    real-time demand fluctuations. Grounding document:
    https://docs.cloud.google.com/architecture/framework/performance-optimization/elasticity.md.txt
