According to Jim Kelly, founder of Java application troubleshooting agent Glassbox, one of the big challenges of solving performance problems is that only a fraction of the problem is technical. Where a large portion of problems stem from organizational or psychological issues, Kelly sees automating human processes as a solution to this problem. In this tech talk, given at TheServerSide Java Symposium, Kelly discusses different kinds of performance problems and how to solve them. Topics include:
- Performance testing
- Problems in Glassbox that lead to performance problems
- Necessary skills for an efficient decision process
- The Glassbox open source project
- How Glassbox is addressing tooling
- The Glassbox community
- Psychological aspects (performance tuning, etc.)
- Glassbox and performance improvement
