The cloud started about 10 years ago and has become one of the main contributors to the digital transformation. And with new technologies come also new challenges, which often drive new innovations. Performance has always been part of software development. In the past it was often considered marginal to specific applications and/or architectures. With the cloud and millions of users going through thousands of applications every day, it has become product feature #1, according to Google and many companies and researches. But what is performance today? Performance has changed too, as it needs to tackle new methodologies and technologies, such as containers, Continuous integration and Deployment, API and microservices, just to name a few. And the solutions used in the past not always offer adequate responses to these new needs.
Paola Rossaro, in conversation with Michele Ursino, will talk about the new challenges of performance testing and tools and techniques that can be used to handle it.
Paola Rossaro is Nouvola co-founder and CTO. With over 20 years of experience in the high tech industry, she provides technical and organizational leadership in several industries, from software and core technology to enterprise applications.
Michele Ursino was born and raised in Italy. He got his Computer Science PhD at Politecnico di Milano and then he moved to United States in the mid 90s. Michele has worked in software development for over 20 years.
