Have you ever used USE? Have you ever wondered what differentiates a performance tester from a performance engineer? Want to know how to automate performance engineering into DevOps Pipelines?

Twan Koot, Performance Engineer at Sogeti, is answering all these questions. We met him at the last Neotys PAC Event where he gave an in-depth look on metrics and enlightened us all with USE (a method from Netflix’s Brendan Gregg). In our conversation we explain what USE really is, how to apply it and how a good performance engineer needs to understand more than just response time!
