S2E7 - Andi Grabner - Introduction to Keptn for performance engineering

Today I will share with you a conversation with Andreas Grabner, or Andi as we all know him. From Austria, he has more than 20 years of experience in the field, always sharing his knowledge about performance engineering, especially through his podcast called Pure Performance. He is a frequent speaker at technology conferences, I think I’ve met him in every conference related to performance, in different countries.

During the interview we talked about why performance engineering is so enjoyable, also, we visited some basic concepts related to performance testing in Continuous Delivery, because I wanted to talk about Keptn, the open source project that Andi has been working on during the last couple of years. I really admire how Andi can explain a lot of very complex concepts easily. Without further ado, let’s listen to the full interview. Enjoy!

Episode highlights:
- Understanding SLAs, SLOs, SLIs, and Quality Gates
- How performance engineers can avoid becoming a bottleneck themselves
- Improve the quality of your software with self-service performance engineering using open source tool, Keptn
