You’ve had an awesome idea, and your prototype has legs. But what if you’re a hit? In focusing on new solutions we often lose track of the vital issues of performance and security. For performance many think, “that’s a good problem to have, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” – but how does that reflect on your new endeavor or brand, or your first check in the company Git repo, when the application code doesn’t scale to handle the load? In a like manner, while many think that they are not a target “hey we’re not political, or controversial – who would want to hack us?”- many before you have thought the same thing.
In this session, we will discuss methods of safeguarding your great work by planning for performance and security in your application architecture, and ensuring that you are a smash hit, and in the news for all the right reasons.
