“Full-stack, baby! Now stop, automate and listen: Dynatrace with a brand new addition, Smartscape shows all that there can be pickin’ up dependencies, all automatically.” This is how Peform 2020 was opened by Dave Anderson rapping to known song’s music and nailing the stage. But it’s not only about the performance. It’s to remind everyone that successful business requires digital transformation at the highest level. Automation, explainable and precise AI is the key. That can only be accomplished with Dynatrace!
Running the software will continue to be exponentially more challenging. Predictions say that there's gonna be 500M of new apps and services by 2023. That's more than the past 40 years!!! Moreover, to satisfy user demands apps would have to use technologies at the edge. Unfortunately, 80% of users will not return after negative experience. Sounds like a challenge? Here are few tips:
- Automation is mandatory because scale and complexity will be unprecedented. Value and impact of apps will much greater, thus tolerance of issues or failures has to be zero
- Go into self-healing autonomous cloud. From DevOps to release better software faster, through automating cloud operations at production
- Re-invent and completely digitalize your business to deliver better business outcomes.
Dynatrace Perform 2020 also revealed fantastic announcements - like extended Kubernetes support for full-stack observability and more precise, AI-powered answers. But the conference is not just business and technology. It's also about the people.
My contribution at Perform was at three lines this year - Hands-On Trainings, Innovation Lab and a Break-out session. Together with my team we've shared best practices to deploy resilient, secure and scalable Dynatrace Managed cluster that is ready to be provided as a service to your teams.
"I have learned a lot during that session. When I'm back to the office, I'll apply best practices right away." - a student
During the break-out session we also talked about that. This time from the perspective of Shawn Givan, Optum. What a great story we have shared on the journey from the 2nd APM generation to 3rd gen at web-scale!
I always love to meet people, see their smiling faces when they receive a help, when they come up with ideas to innovate or they find motivation. All of these I experienced during all days at conference. Not only at the Innovation Center, cloud operations tower. Everywhere where I had a chance to talk with people. My batteries are fully-charged!
And the last thing. It was such a fabulous idea by Dynatrace, to bring Davis AI closer to us. That close that we can feel comfortable, and talk with natural language. Davis AI in person!
That was a great event! The greatest so far.
I attended Perform 2020 and it was an absolute blast! I enjoyed meeting Dynatrace staff members that I have been working with for the past two years as well as network with new people and share use cases and ideas with them.

- I really enjoyed the Main stage event with Bernd Greifeneder. Keeping in mind that some of what he announced might not actually ever make it to production, it still shows us that path that Dynatrace is on as they continue to innovate and pack their platform with even more useful tools and extensions. The data is all within Dynatrace and its great that they continue to look into how to Maximize the return on investment for the product. We are very excited for the future and for Perform 2021!
