Theme week: Optimizing your infrastructure

The IBM Mobile blog has been running "theme weeks," so I chose to write an article for last week's theme, which was "Optimizing your infrastructure." When I think of optimizing your infrastructure, I think of performance tuning, in particular, tuning the middleware layer, so I give my tips on tuning the IBM Worklight Server.

It is published here - Changing your tune from desktop to mobile.

You can check out the other articles published from that week on The Mobile Frontier blog.
