Holiday Load Testing 2012 - PerfBytes

What this episode covers

Imagine yourself as a performance tester. It's less than 1 week away from Cyber Monday - and all your efforts have come right down to the wire. You've recommended more servers and memory for production to handle the load. You've recommended changes in the load balancer configuration to keep the traffic flowing smoothly. You sent your top ten list of SQL queries to the DBA's - hopefully they got the changes committed in time. And now hopefully you have time to call in to PerfBytes and tell us all about it!! We'd love to hear from you folks who have been actively engaged in preparation for what is sure to be the worst day in Internet history. Mark reads a poem about SWAT team performance testing - something to soothe the load tester's soul. James rants about bad configuration for connection pooling.Original Air Date: Tuesday, November 20, 2012Additional Content: http://www.perfbytes.com/howtocookyourwebsiteforthanksgiving http://www.perfbytes.com/holidayhaiku
