On this day annually it is typical to make a resolution to "never drink that much alcohol ever again" in reference to the previous night's celebrations and the current recovery from a hangover. It's also a great time to make a new year's resolution about system performance to avoid the digital-hangover due to a lack of performance testing. This special episode of PerfBytes is dedicated to A New Year of Performance. We'll hear your stories about 2012 performance - like the time you added 4 indexes to the same entity in the database without updating the stats, or the time you though the new web servers would magically be added to the load balancer VIP - but instead, everything came crashing down around you!? We'll hear stories from load testers, app developers, database engineers, networking engineers and maybe even some DevOps-y gurus about what they're planning to do differently in 2013 to avoid next year's performance hangover.
