# Performance

Performance testing, tuning, and optimization guides for Trilio for Kubernetes.

## Overview

This section contains resources for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing the performance of Trilio Vault deployments, including backup speeds, resource utilization, and storage target optimization.

## Available Resources

| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| [backup-performance-testing.md](/kubernetes/appendix/performance/backup-performance-testing.md) | Measure and analyze backup performance metrics          |
| [s3-as-backup-target/](/kubernetes/appendix/performance/s3-as-backup-target.md)                 | S3-specific performance considerations and optimization |

## S3 Backup Target Resources

* [tvk-s3-fuse-plugin-performance.md](/kubernetes/appendix/performance/s3-as-backup-target/tvk-s3-fuse-plugin-performance.md) - Performance characteristics of the S3 FUSE plugin

## When to Use This Section

Use this section when you need to:

* Measure and benchmark backup and restore performance
* Identify performance bottlenecks in your T4K deployment
* Optimize storage target performance
* Tune resource allocations for better throughput
* Compare performance across different backup targets
* Monitor performance trends over time

## Performance Testing Best Practices

When performing performance testing:

1. **Baseline Current Performance** - Establish metrics before making changes
2. **Control Variables** - Test one change at a time
3. **Use Realistic Workloads** - Test with representative data volumes and types
4. **Document Results** - Record configurations and measurements for comparison
5. **Run Multiple Tests** - Average multiple runs to account for variability
