MAIN TRACK TALK

The Survival Guide to the Perfpocalypse

The world of performance testing is changing faster than ever, and many engineers feel lost as the landscape of QA, IT, and everything around them keeps accelerating. The landscape is changing to the point that even large consultancies are reporting they are getting fewer traditional performance testing projects. This talk is an effort to guide the audience through the reason for these changes and the actions and skills they need to stay relevant in this changing performance engineering landscape.

In this talk, Leandro will equip you with the essential rules and insights you need to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving field. He’ll take you on a journey through the history of performance testing (from its early days to its current state) and you’ll explore a survival rulebook covering when load testing matters, how to expand your performance skills, the rising role of observability, synthetics, teamwork, and even a touch of chaos engineering.
