IMPACT2020 | Performance Engineering as a Service: Enabling Performance Testing at Scale in a DevOps World – Jaishankar Padmanabhan

Performance is everything for an e-commerce company like Wayfair. The global e-commerce retailer employs more than 2,300 engineers and has dozens of software engineering teams to maintain their IT operations. Because of its hybrid model of on-premises datacenter and public cloud, the organization was challenged to be able to scale in a hybrid fashion like the production infrastructure.

To meet the demands of the organization, Head of Performance Engineering, Jaishankar Padmanabhan and his team crafted a performance engineering as a service (PEAS) process using infrastructure automation. PEAS provides a self-service performance platform that can be leveraged by application developers in the cloud as well as on-premise, to ensure scalability and reliability of their apps.

Participants in this session will learn about PEAS, as well as how to load and performance test at scale both on-premise or in the cloud using open-source framework; analyze real-time metrics in a reporting dashboard; execute tests with a button click from a common UI; and identify bottlenecks in the applications or infrastructure.
