James Pulley, host of News of the Damned, joins me to answer the question, "How can cache be used to improve performance and what do I need to know in order to test it properly?"

Mark Tomlinson, the Perf Sherpa, and Leandro Melendez, Señor Performo, join host Brian Wilson, the Irreverend, to answer the question:In the context of SAFe, where does the responsibility of performance, reliability, scalability lie?

Leandro Melendez, aka Señor Performo, host of PerfBytes Español, joins me to answer the question "What is the difference between think time and pacing?", and how to leverage them to create load scenarios.

Brian Wilson and Mark Tomlinson dive into the wonderful world of testing applications that are running on the Kubernetes platform and what additional aspects should be considered when running performance tests.

There are many uses of think time, and there are choices to be made when analyzing results. Join Brian Wilson and this episode's guest, Mark Tomlinson, as we discuss the question "Does including think time impact the test results for analysis purposes?"

In the last episode of Ask PerfBytes, Henrik Rexed (@Hrexed) and Brian Wilson (@emperorwilson) talked about integrating load and monitoring tools by leveraging their APIs. In this episode, they answer the question of how to leverage all of the great data the monitoring tools capture to create better load tests.

These days, most tools have ways to integrate into other tools. What are some good ways to integrate your load tools with your monitoring tools? Henrik Rexed (@Hrexed), Performance Testing Advocate at Neotys, joins Brian Wilson (@emperorwilson) to discuss different approaches for integrating these tools

The move from monolithic applications in the private data-center to micro-services in public or even private clouds brings with it a whole new set of considerations when testing. Brian Wilson (@emperorwilson) and special guest Andi Grabner (@grabnerandi) discuss new approaches in testing and monitoring in the cloud as well as a few special considerations you might want to consider when setting up those tests.

Is this finally an example of a stupid question or did we make this a learning moment? Find out in this episode of AskPerfBytes
