The Zenhub engineering team recently completed a series of sprints focused on improving performance and reliability of the app.

• Optimized workspace load time by 10-20% by removing the need to load related workspaces at startup.
• Switched to using Brotli for encrypting static web assets. Initial Zenhub load times should be 10-30% faster for cold starts.
• Optimized Zenhub's code splitting strategy to reduce the JavaScript bundle size by up to 400kb.
• Optimized board issue filtering queries. Filtering the board by authors should now be up to 10x faster.
