Every Byte Counts: Web Performance Flashback with Andreas Taranetz

Andreas Taranetz is a software engineer and lecturer at the University of Vienna. He creates a lot of educational content around Web Performance Optimization. For the past seven years, he has also operated Wahlkabine, Austria's top website, for matching one's political views with the parties that are up for election.
This episode was an amazing flashback - reminding us about the time when Steve Souders - the "godfather" of Web Performance Optimization - educated web developers about optimizing CSS, JavaScript, and server-side roundtrips.
Tune in and learn why Web Performance is still such an important topic, how it relates to sustainability, why you should cache on every layer, and what the Static Site Paradox really is!

The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.

Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.

Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
