  • Why we took our eye off the ball
  • The real financial costs of slowing down
  • The specific techniques we applied to make our sites fast again
  • The process and technology framework we put in place to ensure this never happens again

There are a lot of interesting-looking talks this year:

If you work on building or operating web applications (or both!) you really should consider attending Velocity.
