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.

  1. Why Developer Observability is not a tooling problem with Viktor Farcic

    Why Developer Observability is not a tooling problem with Viktor Farcic

    "We will overwhelm developers if we give them the same specialized observability, security or deployment tools that are used by their platform engineering, operations, SREs or security teams!" - says Viktor Farcic, Developer Advocate at UpBound and host of The DevOps Toolkit YouTube channel.  Tune in and hear us discuss about making observability easier accessible for developers, what Viktor doesn't like about Kubernetes and how Crossplane - the cloud native control plane framework - can be the gateway to real product-oriented platform engineering!

    Pitfalls to avoid when going all-in on OpenTelemetry with Hans Kristian Flaatten

    Hans Kristian is a Platform Engineer for NAV's Kubernetes Platform Nais hosting Norway's wellfare services. With 10 years on Kubernetes, 2000 apps and 1000 developers across more than 100 teams there was a need to make OpenTelemetry adoption as easy as possible.Tune in as we hear from Hans Kristian who is also a CNCF Ambassador and hosts Cloud Native Day Bergen why OpenTelemetry is chosen by the public sector, why it took much longer to adopt, which challenges they had to scale the observability backend and how they are tackling the "noisy data problem" Links we discussed in the episode Follow Hans Kristian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hansflaatten/From 0 to 100 OTel Blog: https://nais.io/blog/posts/otel-from-0-to-100/?foo=barCloud Native Day Bergen: https://2024.cloudnativebergen.dev/Public Money, Public Code.

  3. So you think you should Serverless? Things to know before you do with Sebastian Vietz!

    So you think you should Serverless? Things to know before you do with Sebastian Vietz!

    Has one of the decision makers in your organization decided that you have to go "all in on technology X" because they saw a great presentation at a conference or got a great sales pitch from a vendor? If that is the case then this episode is for you and you should forward it to those decision makers. Sebastian Vietz, Director of Reliability Engineering and Host of the Reliability Enablers Podcast, shares his thoughts on considerations when picking a technology like Serverless. We discuss the importance of knowing limits, best fit architectural patterns and things that should influence your technology decisions! Being aware of coldstarts, a 20000 concurrent request limit or 512mb being an ideal size for Lambda are just some of the things we can all learn from Sebastian.

    Observability that is Battle tested by Millions with Marco Sussitz and Wolfgang Ziegler

    When your code runs on more than 6 million systems - many of them business critical - then this is really exciting news for Marco and Wolfgang, Dynatrace OneAgent Java Team members. Their code powers auto-instrumentation and collection of all observability signals of Java based applications running on every possible stack: container in k8s, serverless, VM, on your workstation or even the mainframe. Tune is as we sat down with Marco and Wolfgang to learn what it means to continuously innovate on agent-based instrumentation with 160+ other engineers across the globe that also focus on OneAgent. They share insights on how they develop their observability code, how they continuously test across all supported environments, what the processes at Dynatrace look like to avoid situations like the recent CrowdStrike outage and how they integrate and collaborate with other communities and tools such as OpenTelemetry!

  5. Using Observability to Prioritize CrowdStrike Remediation with Josh Wood

    Using Observability to Prioritize CrowdStrike Remediation with Josh Wood

    When thousands of systems show a blue screen - which ones do you fix first to quickly bring up your most critical systems? For that you need to know which systems are impacted, which mission critical applications run on it, and which depending systems are also impacted by something like the recent CrowdStrike incident! We have invited Josh Wood, Principal Solutions Engineer at Dynatrace, who was one of the first responders helping organizations to leverage observability data to identify which systems to fix first to bring critical apps such as ATMs, Self-Service Terminals, POS (Point of Sales), ... back up again quickly. In this special episode Josh is walking us through the technical details of the CrowdStrike BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), what caused it, how to leverage observability to get a priorities list of systems to fix first and what organizations can do to prevent software impacting issues in the future. Here the links we discussed in the episode: Josh on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuadwood/ Josh's blog on CrowdStrike BSOD: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/crowdstrike-bsod-quickly-find-machines-impacted-by-the-crowdstrike-issue/ CrowdStrike Incident Takeaway Blog: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/crowdstrike-incident-revisiting-vendor-quality-control/

  6. Is it the time for WebAssembly (Wasm) to take off with Matt Butcher

    Is it the time for WebAssembly (Wasm) to take off with Matt Butcher

    WebAssembly runs in every browser, provides secure and fast code execution from any language, runs across multiple platforms and has a very small binary footprint. It's adopted by several of the big web-based SaaS solutions we use on a daily basis.  But where did WebAssembly come from? What problems does it try to solve? Has it reached critical adoption? And how about observing code that gets executed in browsers, servers or embedded devices? To answer all those questions we invited Matt Butcher, CEO at Fermyon, who explains the history, current implementation status, limitations and opportunities that WebAssembly provides. Further links we disucssed LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattbutcher/ Fermyon Dev Website: https://developer.fermyon.com/  The New Stack Blog with Matt: https://thenewstack.io/webassembly-and-kubernetes-go-better-together-matt-butcher/

    Decrypting software reliability into a plain English with Ash Patel

    "Because I don't want software to go down every single day in my next gig!" is what drives the motivation of Ash Patel, Reliability Advocate and Podcast host of SREpath, to talk about and educate IT professionals on the importance of building and operating reliable systems. For 15 years Ash used to be Director of Operations at a private health service organization. He has experienced that patients couldn't get the treatment they expected due to unreliable software he was responsible for.  In our conversation Ash talks about how he had to close the knowledge gap on technology but also solve the problem by having engineers understand the pain and the requirements of their end users. One way to educate more engineers is through his podcast called SREpath where Observability has become a hot topic recently. Tune in, hear about the memorable stories from his guests from CapitalOne, IKEA and SquaredUp, and lets move towards a world where software is reliable by default.
