👉 Runtime engineering refers to the practices and techniques used to manage, optimize, and monitor the performance of software applications during their execution. It involves analyzing real-time data about how an application behaves under various conditions, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing adjustments to improve efficiency, reliability, and scalability. This includes dynamic resource allocation, load balancing, error handling, and adaptive algorithms that modify behavior based on current system states. By focusing on the application's runtime environment, runtime engineering aims to ensure optimal performance and user experience while minimizing resource consumption and downtime.
