In this session we look at real life data from Dynatrace customers and derive what we all can learn from the mistakes others ran into. Co-presenting with Andreas Grabner from Dynatrace will be Darren Edwards from esure.com. Jointly they will be sharing the top end-to-end performance problems that caused apps such as FIFA Worldcup, Healthcare.gov and others to go down. They range from bad JavaScript coding, bad usage of Hibernate or memory leaks introduced by 3rd party frameworks. What we learn is that it all boils down to the fact that we must never assume that somebody else did our homework! Bios: Darren Edwards is an IT Service Manager for esure where – over his 15 years with the company – moved through different roles. Starting out as a developer, becoming an architect and now running IT where he is responsible for the key IT services and coordination of teams such as service desk, release & build management, DBAs as well as web and application server support. He and his teams make sure that these key services are up and running to ensure a successful business for esure.com. Andreas Grabner has been working in Software Performance for 15 years. Starting of with load and performance testing he moved over to web and enterprise performance as a developer, architect and in recent years became a performance advocate to help people build better software from the start. In his years he collected a lot of stories that he is using as examples on how to do things right or avoid the wrong things. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQs What time should I arrive? • Entry to the meetup is from 18:30 to 19:00. The Registration desk is located in the main lobby/reception of the FT building which is on the 2nd floor (entrance is directly off Southwark Bridge). Security will escort arrivals in groups to the conference suite on the 6th floor. • Beer and pizzas will be served up at approx. 20:15 and the meetup will end at 22:00 and all attendees must exit the building by 22:30. Why have you started charging for your meetup events? • We are charging a nominal £5 entry for our meetup events primarily to reduce the very high level 'no shows' that we have had in the past. This is very frustrating for those that really want to go but end up not being able to attend as all the spots have been taken.The 'waitlist' concept relies on 'no shows' actually releasing their space, and we find that this just doesn't happen. 'No shows' also cause difficulties for us in terms of food and drink provision and event checkin/security. • All food and drink is provided due the generosity of our sponsors and the entry fee's are used towards the general operation of the group. As we are a non-profit making community association, any annual surplus from both sponsorship and attendance fees will be donated to IT related charities. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? • Yes - It really helps us if you can bring your Eventbrite paper or online ticket (containing the QR code) to the checkin desk at the event. What is the refund policy? • In the event of the event being cancelled by the organisers, then a full refund will be made. No other refunds will be made under any circumstances. You can transfer you ticket to someone else via Eventbrite. The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay? • As we are using corporate facilities to host the meetup, security will perform a name check at check-in so its much easier if for everyone if you purchase your ticket in the correct name. Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? • ID will be required if you are not the named ticket holder. Our group sponsors provide alcholic drinks during the meetup session so you have to be over 18 to benefit from those. Click here to register and purchase ticket
