When moving to the cloud - have you thought of the performance difference between App Gateway and Application Load Balancers? The disk speed and disk cache limitations impacting Cassandra and or Elasticsearch Performance? Challenges with pre-built containers or resource limits on pods impacting Java Garbage Collection behavior?

These are all performance considerations Klaus Kierer, Senior Software Engineer in the Cluster Performance Engineering Team at Dynatrace, has learned over the past months as he helped performance optimize the Dynatrace Platform as it was expanded from running on AWS Compute to run on Kubernetes hosted in Azure (AKS) or Google Cloud (GKE).

Listen in and learn why Performance Engineering is more important than ever as you are moving your workloads to the “hyper-hybrid-cloud”.
