The scale of cloud native environments can be overwhelming. How do you evolve your DevOps practices and employ cutting-edge technology to ensure the best app performance whether your customers are executing thousands or even billions of transactions a day?
At Dell, the scale of this effort is astonishing: New apps are being developed, legacy apps are being rewritten, and existing apps often go through regular redesigns. Hundreds of engineers across development, ops, and support teams participate in the optimization effort for 2,000+ legacy and interconnected cloud native applications.
So what does it take to ensure the performance of 25 billion transactions? Jon Hodgson, Jeremy Tupa, and Marcelo Soares share how Dell’s application performance team delivered exactly that for Black Friday. You’ll get practical advice you can apply to your own environment, whether large or small, including how to manage and optimize tens of thousands of microservices and containers, key insights for evolving DevOps tools and methodologies, and Dell’s partnership with Riverbed to deliver exceptional application performance.
