Live Webinar October 22nd, 2014 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C Free
Presented by : O’Reilly Webcasts

As evidenced by Heroku’s “routergate”, to pick a recent example, just having your app instrumented isn’t enough to actually know how things are going in the real world.

Metrics frequently make people think that everything is understood and under their control, even when that is far from reality.

This webcast talk covers common blind spots in instrumentation and metrics setups.

It also tries to help inculcate a mindset that cares about real-world results rather than the dubiously accurate numbers showing up on a web page.

Presenter:  André Arko (LinkedIn profile, @indirect) Vice-Minister of Computation Cloud City leads the Bundler team, wrote the jquery-rails gem, and spends a lot of time trying to get his computer to do things for him. See André’s Website:  and Blog.
