I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. I decided to publish a few parts here to see if anything triggers a discussion. It would be published as separate posts: – Introduction (a short teaser). – Cloud.

Data is an important part of any web application. Whether it is a user’s data, such as login information, or the application’s content, such as a blog post, software developers spend a lot of time figuring out where to put data. Software developers are also people though and people make mistakes. What happens if a software developer chooses a poor way to store data?

As someone who has developed both hybrid web applications and native applications, I understand the differences and advantages each brings to the table. While I agree that you can do some pretty neat things with a hybrid web application built with frameworks like Ionic, I no longer think it is as great of a solution as it once was. With hybrid web frameworks like Ionic 2 and native mobile frameworks like NativeScript both using Angular, you have to step back and ask yourself what you’re truly ge

We put a lot of thought into curating a thematic set of dashboards that help you understand the performance of your front-end, but sometimes you just want to play with the data yourself and slice 'n' dice the data in all sorts of different ways. We've added a new "Favorites" dashboard that lets you do just that. You can explore the data and build your own charts, then rearrange them and share them with the team to help demonstrate the performance issues you're focused on right now.

Fast Data is an emerging industry term for information that is arriving at high volume and incredible rates, faster than traditional databases can manage. Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. Since then we’ve introduced Amazon Kinesis for real-time streaming data, AWS Lambda for serverless processing, Apache Spark analytics on EMR, and Amazon QuickSight for

Unless you want a very boring single page application, you’re going to want some form of page navigation with multiple pages available. Previously I wrote a tutorial for navigating between routes in a vanilla JavaScript NativeScript application , but with Angular in full force, it probably makes sense to demonstrate navigation with the very different Angular Router component.
