# Performance Tuning

This page covers practical tuning strategies for high-throughput and low-latency workloads.

## Primary tuning levers

- `PollIntervalSeconds`
- `BatchSize`
- `MaxConcurrentRuns`
- `LeaseDurationSeconds`
- `RetryDelay` / `RetryMaxDelay` / retry jitter

## Throughput tuning sequence

- Increase `MaxConcurrentRuns` in small steps.
- Increase `BatchSize` after confirming downstream capacity.
- Keep poll jitter enabled for multi-worker clusters.

## Latency tuning sequence

- Lower poll interval carefully.
- Balance lower poll interval with database load.
- Avoid synchronized polling by keeping jitter enabled.

## Provider considerations

- Validate tuning with your real provider and dataset.
- Measure claim, success, retry, and failure trends before/after each change.
- Tune one dimension at a time to keep causal analysis clear.
