Optimizing Django deployments with a Continuous Observability Strategy by Chad Carlson @ Platform.sh

When applications fall short of performance expectations they are consuming too much memory, response times increase, etc. it can be tempting to increase the resources in the environment to respond. At the heart of the issue is application performance, and what's missing is comprehensive strategy that connects production monitoring to tools that allow you to identify bottlenecks and enforce performance expectations (a performance budget) in development.

Here, we'll show how using Blackfire.io in combination with Platform.sh as a deployment target makes it feasible to not only create a Continuous Observability strategy across every application in your organization, but also how the pair makes it possible to make the environmental impact of web development a measurable and optimizable objective.

The 5th annual Python Web Conf (#PWC2023) inspired attendees to use technology for good. The conference attracted 315 attendees from over 30 countries across 15 time zones. The highly engaging format featured 70 speakers, 5 tracks (including 64 talks and 5 tutorials) and took place virtually on March 1317, 2023 on LoudSwarm by Six Feet Up.
