I've looked into this package. It is really cool and I like that they're bringing self hosted options for performance monitoring. However, this tool is missing some key components to be a viable and recommended solution. It doesn't appear to have any kinds of alert settings or notification integrations which is critical for production applications. Otherwise, you would have to manually check the performance app for the health of your application. I can see this app providing some insights into the health of the application, but lacks a lot of the information that others provide.

```In early benchmarks, we’ve seen performance improvements over the existing rendering pipeline. For a test page with nested renders 10 levels deep, we’re seeing around a 5x increase in speed over partials:

Comparison:
component: 6515.4 i/s
partial: 1251.2 i/s - 5.21x slower
```

It is interesting, they're showing 5x difference in some cases. Perhaps one level deep, the difference would be small, but on 10 levels deep, that's a pretty significant change.

I would assume that it has less to do with erb processing and more to do with the modules that are getting loaded in with a normal partial being rendered. In the last example of the episode, we saw how we could add in other modules for stuff like url helpers. There are likely a lot more helpers being loaded in which would account for the extra time to render the partials.

This should be an interesting topic. Images aside, the audio and video can definitely be a complicated task. For audio and video files, the best way on AWS is to serve them through the CloudFront CDN and RTMP distribution. For now, this is a pretty good read, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/streaming-videos-to-mobile-app-users-via-amazon-cloudfront-cdn/.

For other stuff like image assets, the biggest thing for performance boosts with these is to have the images properly sized (so not sending full images for thumbnails) and also supporting HTTP/2 (H2) on your web server. This would essentially allow a single connection to serve multiple assets.

I'll definitely look into the CDN portion for a more simple example and possibly one using AWS Lambda and CloudWatch for event notifications and publishing versions for RTMP distribution.

Thanks for the suggestion! It's there now!
