Good Morning Perform

Pivotal with Maggie Ambrose & Rajesh Jain

We continue coverage of Dynatrace Perform 2017 with interviews from John Delfeld of Ixia, our favorite performance geek Andreas Grabner from Dynatrace and strategic partner Ryan Faulk of Faulk Consulting.

Woo hoo!! We're kicking off the Dynatrace conference in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan Hotel!

Eric Wright (@discoposse) is a “veteran” and expert when it comes to virtualization and cloud technologies. He introduces us into the field of container and container orchestrations, the vendors in the space, the pros and cons and the key capabilities he things have to be considered when evaluating the next generation virtualization platform for your enterprise.

How often have you deployed an application that was supposed to be load tested well but then crashed in production? One of the reasons might be that you never took the time to really analyze real life load patterns and distributions. Brian Chandler (@Channer531) (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-chandler-8366663b ) – Performance Engineer at Raymond James – has worked with their Operations Team to not only start loving application specific performance data captured in production. They starting breaking down the DevOps Walls from Right to Left by sharing this data with Testers to create more realistic load tests but also started education developers to learn from real life production issues.

We hope you enjoy this one as we learn a lot of cool techniques, metrics and dashboards that Brian uses at Raymond James. If you want to see it live check out our webinar where he presented their approach as well: https://info.dynatrace.com/apm_wc_getting_started_with_devops_na_registration.html

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Daniel Freij (@DanielFreij) – Senior Performance Engineer and Community Manager at Apica – has been doing hundreds of load tests in his career. 5-10 years ago performance engineers used the “well known” load testing tools such as Load Runner. But things have changed as we have seen both a Shift-Left and a Shift-Right of performance engineering away from the classical performance and load testing teams. Tools became easier, automatable and cloud ready. In this session we discuss these changes that happened in the recent years, what it means for today’s engineering teams and also what might happen in 5-10 years from now. We also want to do a shout out to a performance clinic Daniel and Andi are doing on January 25th 2017 where they walk you through a modern cloud based pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, Jenkins, Apica and Dynatrace.
