  • 008 A Cloudy Story: Why You Should Worry About Performance in PaaS vs IaaS or Containers
    The initial idea of the Cloud has long become commodity – which is IaaS. Containers are the current hype but still require you to take care of correctly configuring your container that will run your code.

    Mike Villiger (@mikevilliger) – a veteran and active member of the cloud community – explains why it is really PaaS that should be on top of your list. And why monitoring performance, architecture and resource consumption is more important than ever in order for your PaaS Adventure not to fail.

  • PurePerformanceCafe 008: Dynatrace DevOps with Jon Anhold & AaronVolkmann
    Andi chats with Jon Anhold (@perlguy9) from Rosetta and Aaron Volkmann (@AaronvOlk) from Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute – both DevOps Advocates – after they participate in a DevOps Panel discussion at a Dynatrace event in Cleveland, OH. Their teams help their customers transform towards a new “DevOpsy” way to develop, test, deploy and run software. In the interview they reflected on what type of transformation their customers go through, how to start, where they struggle and how important monitoring and metrics are in that process.

  • 006 How to Sell Performance to Marketing with Richard Dominguez

  • PurePerformance Cafe 007: Velocity 2016 at the Dynatrace Booth
    Close to the end of the show it was time to have a quick walk through the Dynatrace Booth. Joking and talking with my colleagues about performance and about our different tool offerings such as Dynatrace Synthetic, AppMon & UEM, DCRUM or Ruxit. We also interrupted some of my colleagues who just enjoyed coffee and pastry. Enjoy!

  • PurePerformance Cafe 006: Velocity 2016 with Bill Zajac
    Bill and his company make the Internet 20 times faster -> just like PiedPiper – but in their case it is for real and not just a TV show! We get an insight into how their technology works which allows their customers to move data faster over the internet by optimizing package routes. It’s like “The Waze” for internet traffic. I saw it live – really impressive!

  • PurePerformance Cafe 005: Velocity 2016 with Jon Hodgson
    His big topic is: Quality of data that monitoring tools capture!
    He discusses several use cases where monitoring granularity down to 1s is very critical – especially on the infrastructure side in order to identify intermittent problems. On a transactional level, it is important to see every transaction all the time – sampling won’t cut it as you can't do real root cause diagnostics if you don’t know the difference between good and bad. Challenge the tool – pick the one that gives you the data you need –don’t fall short with sampling!

    Chatting with Dominic over a coffee on his current performance issue with their .NET Application: a memory issue their customers faced when running their apps. He talks about which diagnostics tools he used, where he struggled, and why he had to use different tools to actually find the problem.
    Great summary of the sessions he visited, which metrics he is interested in and which vendors he found interesting!

  • PurePerformance Cafe 003: Velocity 2016 with Bryan Einwalter & Venkata Thota
    Page Performance is very important for eCommerce and therefore for Grainger. Key items for them right now are to find the best metrics and define “actionable” alerting for Ops in case something goes wrong. We also discussed the “Shocking News” given by Tammy Everts and Pat Meenan who claimed that Render Time is not influential for conversion and user experience! WHAT does that mean for us now?
