SUMMARY:Getting Fast: Moving Towards a Toolchain for Automated Operation
 s
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lee Thompson (Lee Thompson), Alex Honor (Contro
 lTier open source automation project). From the UNIX operating systems t
 o development tools, toolchains are a part of our daily lives. As the co
 mplexity and pressures of modern web operations have mounted, the need f
 or a toolchain for automated operations is even more evident. Join us as
  we examine these emerging toolchains and their reference open source im
 plementations.

SUMMARY:Creating Cultural Change
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Rauser (Amazon). Many problems in web perf
 ormance and operations are deeply cultural and only tangentially technic
 al.  Sadly, engineers are often very bad at creating cultural change.  T
 his talk presents four cases where clever people have created cultural c
 hange, and draws out the common lessons contained therein.

SUMMARY:In the Belly of the Whale: Operations at Twitter
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John Adams (Twitter). Twitter has grown from a 
 micro-blogging service to a real time communications system that is an u
 nderlying part of the web. With the rise of the service has come a scali
 ng challenge, one that the operations and engineering team has met year 
 after year. In this session, John will share some of their challenges fr
 om this year and to revisit the best practices that they've discovered a
 long the way.

SUMMARY:Performance Testing:  Putting Cloud Customers Back in the Driver
 ’s Seat
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Imad Mouline (Compuware). Many developers wrong
 ly assume Google.com- and Amazon.com-like performance and consistency wh
 en they enlist cloud computing services from these and other major cloud
  providers.  But the truth is, developers must do the due diligence and 
 insist on performance guarantees from the cloud provider.

SUMMARY:Moving Fast
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert Johnson (Facebook). Last year we made Fa
 cebook twice as fast, but it turns out that that's the easy part. The ha
 rd part is keeping it fast as things are constantly changing. I'll be ta
 lking about the code frameworks, tools, and engineering culture that com
 e together to keep our site moving fast as our engineering team moves fa
 st to build new products.

SUMMARY:The Mobile Web: The Next Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Joshua Bixby (Strangeloop Networks). Mobile web
  users are demanding. More than half say that they expect sites to downl
 oad as quickly on their mobile devices as they do on their home computer
 s. Three out of 5 say that poor performance will make them less likely t
 o return to the site. And 40% say they'd likely visit a competitor's sit
 e next.

SUMMARY:Future Directions of Web Performance Tooling
DESCRIPTION:Web Performance Tooling is continuously evolving. However in
 stead of one single you need to use a big tool set where each tool does 
 similar things but not quite the same. Eventually you find yourself usin

  will discuss real-world needs and tools support today and how it should
  be in the future.
