On October 13th, we have a special speaker: Joshua Bixby (@JoshuaBixby), President of Strangeloop Networks and author of Web Performance Today blog will talk about Web Performance Automation.
Abstract:
Depending on who you talk to, performance automation can range from the holy grail of performance tuning to a set of programming hacks that will bring down your website. In reality, it is neither of these things.
Joshua will talk about:
- Different approaches to automation
- Pros and cons of each
- What kinds of performance best practices can or should be automated
- What best practices are better left to hands-on developers
- How “automatic” is performance automation, actually?
- A survey of the automation market today
