Five Critical Metrics for Web Performance Monitoring

The performance of web architectures vary greatly depending on load, implementation, business function and usage models. This session describes the five critical metrics that are common to all web architectures that operations teams should manage. Understanding these five metrics helps to partition systems and provides faster root cause analysis of when addressing performance problems.

Translating Operations Data into Business Metrics

Systems and application monitoring provides massive amounts of data critical for operations team to understand the performance of their web infrastructure. However, this data is often incomprehensible to business owners looking to tie application metrics to business goals. This session describes how to effectively translate operational data into metrics that the business cares about and uses practical examples from Hyperic IQ.

Deliver Performance and Scalability with Ehcache and Spring

Today's architects are faced with complex performance and scaling challenges with their applications. Some of the obstacles that must be overcome are overloaded/non-responsive databases, JVM heap constraints, and network I/O to name a few. The problem: how to address these obstacles without rewriting/re-architecting your applications. This talk will explore how Ehcache solves these problems by plugging in a caching layer in your applications.

Additionally, we will dive into Spring's Cache Abstraction layer, Ehcache's Automatic Resource Control (ARC), JSR107, and how these powerful tools help "keep caching simple". Finally, we will look at code examples, discuss different scaling solutions, and explore cache visibility options.
