Evolving performance assurance
summary
Argues that modern performance shifts from obsessed load testing to continuous performance driven by observability and CI/CD with small, frequent checks; recommends day minus one planning, lightweight tools for unit and browser-level metrics, and dynamic dashboards instead of 90-page postmortem reports — remembers a 90 page report and many brittle automations. Advises running short “Chihuahua” load runs for regression, reserving big spikes for real events, never slowing the pipeline, and using multiple focused tools so monitoring and fixes actually work.
