#lspe CFP for 1/17/13

lspe20130117

I organize the speakers for the Bay Area Large-Scale Production Engineering
meetup (http://www.meetup.com/SF-Bay-Area-Large-Scale-Production-Engineering/ ;
take a look at the "PAST" tab to see the kinds of events we've had).

For our event on Thursday January 17 (2013), I'm thinking about using the
topic "Performance Monitoring." Would you be interested in participating by
giving a talk?

As you can see from looking at our past events, I usually pick a topic, and
then try to get 2-3 talks on that topic. Talks are usually 20-25 minutes
long. This is a technical audience (Ops and DevOps engineers), and they don't
appreciate a marketing pitch. They're eager to get into the nuts and bolts of
the topic, including demos, code samples, and architecture. For commercial
products, we prefer that the talk be given by someone technical (a tech lead,
architect, or similar) and that it include some discussion on how this product
scales or handles large-scale deployment issues.

For this topic, I can imagine seeing things like what instrumentation is
required and how it is put into client code, which metrics can be collected,
how much data is collected, how collected data is managed, what reports or
visualizations can be generated from the collected ata, and how data collection
and storage scales in your system.

If you'd be interested in participating, DM me an email I can use to make
further arrangements.

Thanks,
Chris Westin
