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.

    You Are Not Broken: A Candid Talk on Burnout & Mental Health with Roman Ferstl

    Three years ago, Roman Ferstl — entrepreneur, founder, and returning PurePerformance guest — found himself experiencing something he struggled to explain to anyone who hadn't lived it. In this episode, he joins Andi Grabner and Brian Wilson to talk openly about burnout, anxiety, and depression: how they overlap, how they build on each other, and what the science of sleep, the nervous system, and neuroplasticity reveals about why recovery is genuinely possible. Honest about therapy, medication, and mindfulness — what worked and what didn't — Roman's goal is simple: if even one person listening takes one sentence away that changes something for them, the conversation was worth having. You are not broken. And it can get better.

    Can AI Save the Planet — Or Is It the Problem? Building Green Software With Anne Currie

    When AI can generate and optimize code at scale, does that make software greener — or just faster to get wrong - or does it cost more to train and run those AI models then the savings we have optimizing our own software? Anne Currie, co-author of O'Reilly's Building Green Software, joins us to untangle the paradox. US data centers are on track to consume over 10% of the national grid by 2030 with a growing part of that energy going to AI workloads, yet it may also be our best tool for writing more efficient software — if the training data is any good (spoiler: for C, it often isn't; for Rust, it's a different story). In our episode Brian, Andi and Anne get into the fundamentals that most teams are skipping: operational efficiency. Turning off systems you don't need, rightsizing what you do — these unglamorous moves can slash your hosting bill in half, and they're the prerequisite for any code-level green gains to actually matter. Plus: graceful shutdowns, grayouts, and why we'll probably need AI to eventually rewrite itself.

    80% AI-Written Code: How 1KOMMA5 Measured the Real Impact of AI on Engineering

    AI coding tools are everywhere, but how do you prove they're actually making engineers more productive? In this episode of PurePerformance, hosts Brian Wilson and Andi Grabner welcome Michael Reichenbach, Platform Engineer at 1KOMMA5°, to discuss the company's journey toward more than 80% AI-written code. Rather than relying on anecdotes or hype, Michael shares how his team designed a real experiment to measure the impact of AI-assisted development. We explore the metrics they chose, why traditional DORA metrics such as deployment frequency and change failure rate were not the right indicators, and how they instead focused on "Time to Code" from ticket creation and first commit to merged pull request. Michael also explains how AI lowered the barrier for contribution across the organization, enabling even non-engineering teams to prototype and build solutions faster. The conversation also dives into the operational side of AI adoption, including AI observability dashboards, budget controls, Slack alerts, usage monitoring, and the surprising decision to intentionally limit AI spending during their proof of concept. Whether you're evaluating Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or other AI coding tools, this episode offers practical lessons on measuring value, maintaining quality, and scaling AI adoption responsibly.

    Blueprints for OTel Success: Standardizing Observability at Scale with Dan Gomez Blanco

    "There is no single way to deploy OpenTelemetry at scale—and that’s exactly the challenge." As organizations adopt OTel across teams and environments, they face tough questions around standardization, configuration, and operating resilient observability pipelines. To address these challenges, the OpenTelemetry community has introduced Blueprints and Reference Implementations—practical guidance on topics like data standards, consistent agent and collector configuration, pipeline resilience, and intelligent sampling. In this episode, we’re joined by Dan Gomez Blanco, maintainer of the OpenTelemetry End-User SIG, to explore real-world reference architectures from organizations like Skyscanner, Adobe, and Mastodon. Tune in to learn how the community is turning OTel complexity into shared best practices—and how you can contribute your own blueprint

    OpenTelemetry and the Reality of Vendor Choice with Adriana Villela and Josh Lee

    I still hear people say, “OpenTelemetry is vendor-neutral, so you can switch any time!” In this episode, Adriana Villela and Josh Lee (both active OpenTelemetry contributors) help bust that myth. While OTel standardizes instrumentation and signal transport—and unlocks a rich ecosystem of tools—switching vendors isn’t as simple as it sounds. There’s real cost in retraining engineers, migrating dashboards, SLOs, and alerts, and reworking deep integrations across your delivery pipeline. We also dive into a key challenge the community is tackling: helping engineers instrument by value, not by default—making it easier to capture the right signals with high quality instead of just collecting everything.

    AI Is a Gift: Rethinking Software Engineering Education and Hiring

    In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming education, from classrooms to corporate training. What changes are needed in schools and universities? How does AI affect both students and educators? And how should companies rethink internal training and hiring to stay competitive? To answer these questions, we’re joined by Rainer Stropek, CEO of Software Architects and Chairman of Coding Club Linz. With decades of experience teaching at high schools and universities—and helping organizations upskill their engineers—Rainer brings a unique perspective on how software engineering education is evolving. While many view AI as a threat, Rainer sees it as a “Christmas gift”—opening up endless opportunities to learn, adapt, and innovate. Tune in to hear why curiosity is more important than ever, how educational institutions can prepare future engineers, and why organizations must step up to ensure everyone has a fair chance to succeed in the age of AI.

    8 Factor Producers to Scale Platform Engineering in an AI-First world with Abby Bangser

    In 2011 Heroku defined the 12 factor app to remove emerging bottlenecks as developers tried to scale their output when they moved from building monoliths to microservices. In Platform Engineer we see a repeating pattern called the "8 Factor Platform Producers".  AI allows engineering teams to speed up but they face bottlenecks as platform capabilities are not scaling with that demand as they are often depending on a central platform engineering team to be built and maintained. To learn more about 8 Factor Platform Producers we invited Abby Bangser,  Founding Principal Engineer at Syntasso and CNCF Ambassador. She gave an amazing talk at KubeCon in Amsterdam and today walks us through the need of defining both consumers and producers for platforms to eliminate any emerging bottlenecks in Platform Engineering and allow an organization to reap the benefit of speeding up with AI Links we discussed: Abby's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbybangser/ Abby's Kubecon Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t0-5cvvMGM&list=PLj6h78yzYM2MXCOWSN9CqqID6OOvF7wxL&index=30 12 Factor Apps: https://12factor.net/ CNCF Whitepaper: https://cloudnativeplatforms.com/whitepapers/platforms/
