Performance shouldn't be a bottleneck. Yet, for many teams, scaling open-source tools like JMeter leads to "production surprises" and release-day stress. In this session, we’re peeling back the curtain on how to build a high-scale performance practice. You’ll learn how to transform JMeter into an automated "Performance Gate" that ensures every release is faster and more stable than the last.
Join performance expert Keith Puzey for a deep dive into turning JMeter from a manual chore into a reliable, automated powerhouse. We’ll show you how to stop "testing for the sake of testing" and start building a performance strategy that actually protects your production environment.
Key Takeaways:
- Shift-Left Strategy: Establish meaningful baselines that evolve with your app.
- Smart Thresholds: Define "success" based on business goals, not just server pings.
- CI Integration: Seamlessly plug JMeter into your workflow for 24/7 validation.
- Open Source + AI: Leverage the flexibility of JMeter with the power of AI-driven governance.
