PurePerformance
The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations. Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics. Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.

The AWS US-East problems on Oct 27th was a good reminder how depending we are on globally shared services. Built-in Resiliency is not guaranteed if systems have a hard dependency on a single region of a single vendor. Many of us have experienced systems being impacted that we use on a daily basis - some critical - some not so critical as Andi will tell you when he found out that is beloved Leberkas Pepi App didnt work!

Most AI projects still fail, are too costly, or don't provide the value they hoped to gain. The root cause is nothing new: it's non-optimized models or code that runs the logic behind your AI Apps. The solution is also not new: tuning the system based on insights from Observability!

But have we reached a stage where organizations are doing "Feature Flag-Driven Development?".
