Which strategy is NOT recommended for application performance optimization in OutSystems?

Utilizing disk-based storage is not recommended for application performance optimization in OutSystems primarily because OutSystems is designed to work with in-memory data structures and optimized persistence mechanisms that enhance performance. When performance is a priority, it is essential to leverage the fast access speeds provided by in-memory databases and data manipulation techniques.

The other strategies listed are strongly encouraged for improving application performance. Optimizing queries ensures that data retrieval is efficient, reducing latency and resource use. Caching frequently used data helps in minimizing database hits, allowing the application to serve responses faster by retrieving data from memory instead of repeatedly querying the database. Reducing asset size, such as minimizing the size of images, scripts, and stylesheets, directly decreases loading times and improves user experience by speeding up the overall application response. Thus, while disk-based storage can be useful in certain contexts, it does not align with the performance enhancement goals typical in OutSystems environments.
