The Nexus of Performance Engineering and Reliability

This chapter explores the vital relationship between performance engineering and software reliability, highlighting latency as a key performance metric. The speaker advocates for collaboration between Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and Performance Engineers to enhance application performance and reduce burnout within teams. Emphasizing the importance of integrating performance considerations early in the development process, the chapter calls for developers to utilize tools that allow for real-time performance assessment to maintain service level objectives.
