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.

MCPs (Model Context Protocol) are not that magic, but they enable magic things with Dana Harrison

MCPs (Model Context Protocol) is an open source standard for connecting AI assistants to the the systems where data lives. But you probably already knew that if you have followed the recent hype around this topic after Anthropic made their announcement end of 2024.
To learn more about that MCPs are not that magic, but enable "magic" new use cases to speed up efficiency of engineers we have invited Dana Harrison, Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Telus. Dana goes into the use cases he and his team have been testing out over the past months to increase developer efficiency.
In our conversation we also talk about the difference between local and remote MCPs, the importance of keeping resiliance in mind as MCPs are connecting to many different API backends and how we can and should observe the interactions with MCPs.
