### Phase 2: Bottleneck Identification (2-3 hours)
\```typescript
// Performance profiling approach
interface PerformanceBottleneck {
  component: string;
  severity: 'critical' | 'high' | 'medium' | 'low';
  impact: string;
  metrics: {
    current_performance: number;
    target_performance: number;
    improvement_potential: number;
  };
  root_cause: string;
  optimization_complexity: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high';
}

const identifyBottlenecks = async (): Promise<PerformanceBottleneck[]> => {
  return [
    {
      component: "API endpoint /users",
      severity: "critical",
      impact: "95th percentile response time: 3.2s (target: <1s)",
      metrics: {
        current_performance: 3200,
        target_performance: 1000,
        improvement_potential: 68
      },
      root_cause: "N+1 query pattern in user data fetching",
