+
+# Step 1: Fork this repository
+
+[https://github.com/ethanwwm/cis411_lab3](https://github.com/ethanwwm/cis411_lab3)
+
+# Step 2: Clone your forked repository from the command line
+
+- My GraphQL response from adding myself as an account on the test project
+
+```
+
+{
+  "data": {
+    "mutateAccount": {
+      "id": "0693a4c8-eec1-41ba-bea9-1cddc9feba50",
+      "name": "Ethan Wong",
+      "email": "ethanwwm@gmail.com"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+# Step 3: Signup for and configure New Relic
+
+- The chosen name of your New Relic `app_name` configuration
+
+```
+
+app_name: ['cislab']
+
+```
+
+# Step 4: Exercising the application / generating performance data
+
+_Note: No lab notes required._
+
+# Step 5: Explore your performance data
+
+- What are your observations regarding the performance of this application? \* The queries ran smoothly even though the return time varied for each of them.
+
+- Is performance even or uneven? \* Uneven.
+
+- Between queries and mutations, what requests are less performant? \* Queries.
+
+- Among the less performant requests, which ones are the most problematic? \* The queries that have too broad of a search scope can cause a significant drop in performance.
+
+# Step 6: Diagnosing an issue based on telemetry data
+
+- Within the transactions you're examining, what segment(s) took the most time? \* When searching for Strings instead of being specific to the item in a category can be much slower.
+
+- Using New Relic, identify and record the least performant request(s).
+
+```
+
+```
+
+{
+#all accounts that contain gmail.com
+accounts(query: "gmail.com") {
+id
+items {
+label
+quantity
+}
+}
+}
+
+```
+
+```
+
+- Using the Transaction Trace capability in New Relic, identify which segment(s) in that request permiatation is/are the most problematic and record your findings. \* queryOrderBySearchTerm and Remainder component
+
+- Recommend a solution for improving the performance of those most problematic request(s) / permiatation(s). \* Basically be more specific with your queries than being so general.
+
+# Step 7: Submitting a Pull Request
+
+_Note: No lab notes required._
+
+# Step 8: [EXTRA CREDIT] Address the performance issue(s)
+
+For the purposes of gaining 25% extra credit on the assignment, perform any of the following:
+
+1. Adjust the diagnosed slow call(s) to improve performance.
+
+2. Verify the improved performance in New Relic, **including data and/or screenshots in your lab report**.
+
+3. Check in those changes and **note your solution(s)** in your lab report.
