Velocity conference is O’Reilly Media’s Web Performance and Operations conference, and it’s taking place June 18-20 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Three exciting days await participants with excellent keynote from speakers and intensive workshops of learning, networking, and problem-solving with the best in the business.

At Velocity, the best minds in web operations and performance share their knowledge on the core aspects of building a faster and stronger web.

“Velocity is the conference where people talk about how to get things done in the real world—if you want to know how the best in the world handle their Operations, Velocity is the place to learn,” noted Adam Jacob, Opscode.

Expectation for Developers

The Velocity Conference will focus on the key aspects of mobile performance, operations and web performance through a series of keynotes, hands-on tutorials, and a broad multi-track program of sessions.

The main theme of the Velocity Conference is to build integration between developers and operations. HTTP guru Mark Nottingham from Akamai will cover a workshop for developers to cover topics like TCP optimizations and failure modes, HTTP traps and tricks, firewalls, proxies, routers and other middleboxes, and common strategies for scaling, redundancy and performance.

Bill Kayser, one of New Relic’s earliest engineers, and Patrick Lightbody, New Relic’s lead product manager, will share analyzing web performance data such as Median value, standard deviation, baseline comparison, Histogram etc. Developers can learn how historical data from real applications having performance issues and what they would be using in performance monitoring tools to detect these problems.

Sergey Chernyshev (truTV (Turner)), Andy Davies (Asteno), Rick Viscomi (Google) will demo a hands-on Web Performance Optimization session to show how to use performance analysis and optimization tools to speed up web sites, , as well as the role of automated performance optimization tools.

LinkedIn will demonstrate what it is doing with JavaScript templates to developers and how JavaScript can be used for large scale web-apps with complex UI requirements, localization needs. Veena Basavaraj of LinkedIn will also show what they are doing to measure performance of client-rendered apps using JavaScript templates across browsers, and across regions.

Speakers from other industries will address JavaScript monitoring the performance issues and how end-to-end language tools can be designed for syntax augmentation/transformation, advanced static and dynamic code analysis, as well as run-time complexity profiling.

Mobile Development Performance

On Mobile performance side, Maximiliano Firtman, ITMaster Professional Training, will discuss main HTML5 techniques available today for measuring web performance on mobile platforms, including Remote Inspector tools, Traffic analyzers, Bandwidth simulators, Profiling tools and the Web Navigation Timing API.

There will be developer session on JavaScript frameworks usage, Animation Timing API, using HTML5 abilities to improve performance perception and responsiveness.

Google will talk about the performance implications to build a 4G network. Google will cover topics like how data flow from and to the mobile device within the 4G network, performance optimization techniques, tips, and tricks and Radio and resource scheduling in 4G networks.

Yahoo will cover topic for mobile developer with sessions like how to optimize your JavaScript for mobile devices. Stephen Woods of Yahoo will demo JavaScript in memory caching of slow operations, Automated profiling with Phantom.js, the WebKit Inspector and CSS animation.

Operations Development sessions

PalominoDB will explain the options for running MySQL at AWS and will show how to build highly available, manageable and performant MySQL environments that scale in AWS. He will also show how MySQL can be used to scale patterns including read/write splitting, read distribution, functional dataset partitioning and horizontal dataset partitioning.

Ansible is a next generation configuration management system and at Velocity, PalominoDB show you how quickly Ansible can be used to set up a PostgreSQL deployment using master, streaming replication, backups and monitoring agents rapidly.
