How to create and enforce a performance budget

Balancing website optimization and customization is always a challenge. While it is important for your website to look good, the performance of your website is just as important to the experience. The modern website requires features like personalization, analytics, chatbots, or even ads in order to provide customers with a unique experience each time they visit, but all of these features come at a cost. Setting a performance budget at the beginning of the design phase can help you find the right balance between adding needed functionality without impacting usability or speed.

The Future of IT Ops is Autonomous

Today’s IT stack is more complex and more dynamic than ever before. This means that IT Ops teams must support both the legacy infrastructure accumulated over the years, and modern, ephemeral technologies mandated by cloud-first architectures. Stretched thin, and relying on legacy IT Ops tools, IT Ops teams are unable to effectively do this, resulting in a rising tide of outages, poor app performance and service disruptions. This takes a toll on the business, IT leaders and IT Ops teams.

What’s the answer? Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). AI and ML can help IT Ops teams handle and resolve IT problems at scale, by intelligently automating various aspects of IT incident management. But that’s not all. Over time, as IT Ops teams and enterprises experience the benefits of automation, IT Ops will be able to move from simple automation to a more autonomous mode of operation. In this white paper, noted industry analyst Nancy Gohring from 451 Research describes how AI and ML help drive automation in IT Ops, why IT Ops will move from automation to autonomous over time, and key considerations for IT leaders as they embrace automation and autonomous operations.

Why Scaling is the Biggest Challenge for the On-Demand Economy

As the on-demand economy continues to boom, user expectations continue to grow. We don’t just want the service or product as quickly as possible: we want all the updates, alerts, notifications, and communication in-between, from start to finish. It’s a stream of constant updates and conversation, and the expectation (or, really, the requirement) is that everything happens in realtime.
