speedcentric
Speedcentric is an adjective used to describe a design, analysis, or strategy that places speed or rapid performance as a central criterion. It is often employed informally across several fields to indicate that minimizing delays, increasing throughput, or shortening cycle times is a primary objective. The term can imply different concrete goals depending on context, such as reducing latency in software, shortening travel times in transportation, or accelerating time-to-market in product development.
In software engineering, a speedcentric approach emphasizes low latency, fast startup, and high request throughput. Techniques
Critics argue that an exclusive emphasis on speed can overlook safety, reliability, accessibility, and long-term resilience.
