Published by cyang on
It is every company’s dream and worst nightmare at the same time. Your website, app, or IoT device receives a massive influx of traffic and revenue is going up! But your app and infrastructure were not ready and now they’re bouncing away like elusive jackalopes and turning to social media to share their negative experience. Revenue and success is slipping away.
Whether you’re building a website, a mobile application, an API, or even smart connected hardware you will eventually find that you need to optimize performance to improve user experience, increase scale to handle additional traffic,, support new devices, or identify bugs and poorly configuration infrastructure that are limiting your product’s ultimate success.
In this four-part series, Outsourcing DevOps, we’re going to look at how you can move your organization forward by bringing in expert performance engineers, setting them up for success, and convincing all the stakeholders around you that it’s the right thing to do.
