Updated Nov 27, 2025
Performance Notes
ROS2 supports real-time with DDS QoS policies
Use efficient message types to reduce bandwidth
Minimize unnecessary logging in high-frequency nodes
Optimize callback functions for low-latency processing
Monitor CPU/memory usage in multi-node systems
Security Notes
ROS2 supports secure DDS communication
Restrict access to topics and services in production robots
Avoid exposing ROS nodes to unsecured networks
Validate messages and sensor data
Use cryptographic signing for critical commands if needed
Monitoring Analytics
Monitor topics with `ros2 topic echo` and rqt_graph
Use rosbag for logging and replaying data
Analyze node performance and latency
Debug distributed nodes across machines
Profile resource usage for optimization
Code Quality
Follow ROS2 best practices for node design
Document topics, services, and actions
Unit test nodes and packages
Use linters and static analysis for Python/C++
Modularize code for reusability and maintainability
