I remember participating as a customer in 2018 Barcelona's Perform where management zones were presented.
What an outstanding achievement! 😊

That, I believe was when AppSec was announced by Bernd! I recall several people from inside Dynatrace telling me he was mad 🤣 As someone working n Observability & Security for almost 30 years, I told them that it made perfect sense!!!

[edited] had to comb through my photos to confirm AppSec was announced in Perform Europe 2019...

My <1 year old getting inspired by Simone Biles and winning Best Supporting Viewer in 2022... Somehow she's 3.5... where did the time go, we were starting our DT journey then, and now we are live with thousands of agents and more being deployed each week, and hopefully be at 10,000 soon.

Been to two Performs in Europe, Barcelona, and next month it will be my fourth Perform at Vegas. There are so many things I recall, but kept three of the best!

Starting with Perform Europe, I remember it was where AppSec was launched for the very first time in May 2019. I recall that moment vividly, as I also work heavily in Security, and it made total sense for me joining the two areas under the same Observability platform!

Yes, of all the speakers, I would say that @AgataWlodarczyk from the Community Team did an excellent presentation last year:

For the funny fact, I will never forget meeting Davis in person! Most of you might recall that some years ago Davis had a face, and at Perform we discovered she was real! I believe this has never been publicly disclosed, and is a well guarded secret, but the Davis actress & model was Katie Novak: https://www.backstage.com/u/Katienovak/ I don't have a photo with Katie, but from the @andreas_grabner twitter feed:

But, the best part of Perform is certainly the networking. Being able to talk to all participants, many Dynatracers, even Bernd himself, to all other staff at the booths, and specially you all Community members, is certainly something one doesn't forget!

My favorite moment was probably when session replay was announced. The audience reacted so well to the news and everyone got so excited.

As for the funniest moment… we as Dynatracers are asked to mingle as much as possible of course. In my attempts to do so I always have lunch at a table with no, or only a few, colleagues. This one time a few Perform’s ago I ended up with a table with a Japanese delegation. Due to communication problems I was sitting there quiet the whole time…

Hi,

Apart of Grail announcement and Simone Biles interview mentioned by other colleagues, I remember Kubernetes observability.

We use traces all the time, but being able to have them in Grail was a big moment for me. Combining DQL queries with trace information gave me a lot of tools to help customers.

Did not yet have the chance to visit Perform in-person and my memories are mainly from developer side. It always is a key target-point in each year where development focuses on to have something ready.

after Perform is before Perform 😅

I don't remember the course of Perform 2020 anymore, but I know that we had a good time with my team. We are going to have fun again this year.

I am specifically remembering the very first broadcast of PerfBytes from PERFORM in 2015 in Orlando, FL - and it included some legendary folks from Dynatrace and the Partners at that time. I recall not accepting the invitation to dress in lederhosen. I remember Andi and I doing the largest Performance Puzzler Workshop in history (~125 people). I remember that Ruxit was still a secret project at that time. I remember being on a panel discussion and we had so many great participants on the podcast that first year - amazing performance stories, solving problems with Dynatrace and sharing all that with the greater community!

That was a great day - just the idea of the scale of what Grail would become was kind of mind-boggling. Especially if you ran your own DT managed/on-prem in your own RDBMs...with 50TB's of storage and growing...that made DT SaaS look pretty nice! 🙂
