James Kitson, Guardian on the Dynatrace Expert Services Team ( https://twitter.com/jimm_with_a_j ), helps kick off a new show within the PurePerformance Cafe called Tales From The Trenches. These stories come from either his or his colleagues experiences in the real world, where they used Dynatrace to help save the day.

In this first episode, James discusses what happened when developers fixed some code and didn't tell anybody about it.

In today’s IoT environments more and more functionality is moved from the cloud to the edge. To reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent over networks and overcome the risk of outages, logic is being executed close to the data origins.

But that causes complexity of such environments to increase vastly. Join us at the IoT breakfast at Perform 2018 on Wednesday, Jan 31st from 8am till 9am!

Ian Perez Ponce from Amazon Web Services and Harald Zeitlhofer from Dynatrace will inform you about new trends in edge processing and monitoring:

• AWS Greengrass
• Snowball Edge
• Lambda@Edge
• New features in Dynatrace Monitoring for these services

If you want to join us send a note to iot @ dynatrace.com as space is limited!

Monitoring your hamster? Integrating Dynatrace into Jenkins? Extending the Dynatrace CLI? Self-Healing Scripts? Generic Execution Plugin? These are just some of the ideas for the Dynatrace PERFORM Hackathon which is introduced by Daniel Dyla and Andi Grabner. With only 3 weeks left until PERFORM its time to start implementing the extension you always wanted to build for Dynatrace based on the open Dynatrace API and the Integration Interfaces Dynatrace provides. Finalize the project at PERFORM. Best thing: "What happens in Vegas won't just stay in Vegas". We will promote each project and the get the best ideas on stage!

What if you have thousands of tests but not the time to execute them for every build? Well – we must be smart with selecting which tests to execute to give high quality feedback. In this café Stefan Frandl gives us some thoughts on Test Ranking and smart test selection to ensure that the right tests are executed to achieve high quality feedback

We always talk about monitoring systems – but what about monitoring the health of our development teams? Wouldn’t it be great to have some early warning indicators if quality of teams or individual’s changes? In this café Andi Grabner discusses some thoughts on developer health monitoring with Stefan Frandl from our Dynatrace Linz Lab
