PurePerformance Cafe

For some reason, Andi was in Madison, Wisconsin. He got a chance to catch up with Derek Abing (https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekabing ) from Sentry Insurance. They talked about the evolution of Dynatrace AppMon & UEM within Sentry Insurance. In particular, how it evolved from App Monitoring to Enterprise System Monitoring replacing several of their other tools they had in place such as SCOM, OpenView, SiteScope. Derek was also part of our Dynatrace AppMon & UEM 6.5 Early Access Program and sees this as a major step forward to make everyone a Performance Expert thanks to the enhancements in the Web Dashboards, Transaction Flow and the Automatic Problem Detection.

Andi is at JavaOne in San Francisco. In this episode of PurePerformance Cafe, Andi talks with Pieter Humphrey (@PieterHumphrey) from Pivotal talking about Platform as a Service (PaaS) and how the benefit of having developers focus on just writing code can also be a challenge as bad code can do a lot of harm in terms of PaaS and IaaS costs.
Check this episode to learn more about Cloud Foundry as well as other PaaS providers, the promises and hopes but also the potential challenges.
