Application development and release cycles are today measured in days, instead of months. Configuration options of the tech stack continue to increase in scope and complexity, with dependencies that have become unpredictable. Without automation, Performance engineers and developers can no longer ensure that applications perform as planned, and costs are minimized. Akamas’ novel approach, Autonomous Performance Optimization, automates the performance optimization process with minimal intervention and oversight from experts. It uses AI and machine learning techniques to automatically and continuously optimize the technology stack, delivering unprecedented application performance, deployment agility, and cost savings. In this Performance Clinic, Stefano Doni from Akamas walks us through the practical steps you need to take to automate optimizations of your enterprise, cloud, or database systems leveraging observability data from Dynatrace.

Chaos Engineering is a disciplined approach to identifying failures before they become outages. By proactively testing how a system responds under stress, you can identify and fix failures before they end up in the news. In this Performance Clinic we have Ana Medina, Chaos Engineer at Gremlin, give us an introduction to Chaos Engineering, how to integrate this discipline into your delivery processes and how to leverage Gremlin and Dynatrace to execute and validate your Chaos Engineering Experiments. Learn how you can make your systems more resilient through early, automated and continuous chaos engineering.

With Update 198, Dynatrace introduces Davis data units to increase flexibility with custom metrics. Davis data units also mean more transparency and predictability when it comes to rolling out Dynatrace across your hybrid multi-cloud environments. In this Performance Clinic, Thorsten Roth, Dir. Product Management at Dynatrace gives us an overview of Davis data units, how they compare with the current metric licensing models, and what the benefit for Dynatrace customers is. If you have any follow up questions or feedback feel free to reach out to Thorsten directly or post it on answers.dynatrace.com.

Hackathons are a great vehicle to let engineers explore new technology, create innovative solutions as well as strengthen cross-team collaboration.

Join this Performance Clinic where Klaus Enzenhofer and Andreas Grabner, BizDevOps Advocates at Dynatrace, walk you through automating BLOs alongside your SLOs using Dynatrace and Keptn. You will learn which business metrics to add to your list, how to monitor them with Dynatrace and how to use Keptn to automate validation as well as business remediation in case your BLOs are violated.

Are you spending too much time manually searching for the root-cause across multiple tools, dashboards, and logs viewed by multiple teams? Is the complexity of managing and prioritizing incidents across on-prem, cloud apps, and infrastructure a daunting task? Then you’ll want to hear this Performance Clinic with Martin and Ladislav of Tempest and Rob of Dynatrace. They will show how the Dynatrace integration for Jira built by Tempest connects Dynatrace’s full-stack data and intelligent metrics with Atlassian products such as Jira to enable better and proactive service operation and increased customer satisfaction. We will demonstrate: How to access Dynatrace’s Smartscape topology without leaving Jira for enhanced context for service desk agents and other users How to automatically link and sync all detected problems across CMDB configuration items to link problems to business priority and processes How to utilize the power of scripting to automate remediation actions for fast problem remediation Make sure to bring your questions as we will open it up for public Q&A.

The latest updates to the Dynatrace API have strong focus on liberating access to data driven problem solving and making them accessible by everyone – not just developers. There have been major improvements driven by our community that allow everyone to get easy answers to everyday questions, e.g: How is my cloud infrastructure utilized? How is my latest campaign doing? Are certain problems correlating with seasonal events? In this Performance Clinic Florian Aigner, Technical Product Manager at Dynatrace, will walk us through the changes in the API and will walk us through several use cases on how the Dynatrace API can be leveraged to solve every days business problems with data provided by your Dynatrace instance.
