Capacitas & Arcadia speaking on Agile Performance at Velocity, London

 The Topic:

Continuous Performance Engineering? Moving fast without breaking things

By combining John Pillar's profound experience as a Retail Transformation Evangelist with multiple leading retailers, and the deep technology expertise of Thomas Barns and Capacitas, the presentation will cover these topics with a unique depth and insight.

This presentation takes you through our journey to implement an agile performance engineering strategy suitable for continuous development practices. We start by looking at what performance is – and it’s much more than simply page load times. There’s a need to consider factors such as stability and scalability as well.

We then cover the following key areas

  • Managing risk and prioritising intervention from the beginning of the change lifecycle
  • Bringing together expertise from developers and performance analysts to drive smarter engineering
  • Building load testing into the pipeline and the challenges faced
  • How we automated performance analysis to pick up the real underlying problems
  • Residual risks and approaches we use for dealing with them
