You have a large Python codebase, and you suspect that some parts of the code are suboptimal and slowing down the application. How would you identify and optimize the performance bottlenecks?
- a) Profile the code with a profiler like cProfile
- b) Rewrite the entire codebase from scratch
- c) Ignore the suboptimal code as it may be too time-consuming to fix
- d) Add more hardware resources
To identify and optimize performance bottlenecks in a large codebase, you would profile the code using a profiler like cProfile or more specialized tools like line_profiler or Pyflame. Profiling helps pinpoint which parts of the code are consuming the most time and resources. Rewriting the entire codebase is often impractical. Ignoring suboptimal code can lead to scalability and maintainability issues. Adding more hardware resources can help to some extent, but optimizing the code is a more cost-effective solution.
