Performance and Scaling

Performance advice is only useful when it points to the real owner of the bottleneck.

Operating Rules

• optimize only when schema or serialization cost is demonstrably real
• do not trade shared clarity for minor throughput gains
• prefer predictable migrations over clever fast paths that hide compatibility cost
