This is the debut performance of Raphael's arrangement. ❤️ He’s chosen NYC for this show because it’s the physical and spiritual home of the Velvet Underground. 🕯️He's selected this space, nicknamed **"The Bunker,"** specifically because it has a deep connection to the musicians from the band. 🕶️ *Lou Reed himself spent many long nights sitting at the room’s dining table, alongside William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, and many others.* **When: Tuesday, October 20** **Meet in front of venue @ 7:30 pm (show starts 8:00 pm)** **Where:** Giorno Poetry Systems (GPS), 222 Bowery, New York, NY 🎟️ **Tickets are about** **$17.00** (all fees included) Small venue with limited number of tickets available– Grab one now! ***\* IMPORTANT \**** 👉🏻 Your RSVP to this meetup is the first step. 🎟️ **Be sure to** **buy your ticket online** through the venue here: https://www.giornopoetrysystems.org/222-bowery/events/roginski-velvet (I already have my General Admission ticket.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍻 Maybe we’ll meet nearby for a drink/bite before the show, if anyone is interested. - TBD- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **🏘️ Setting:** "The Bunker" at 222 Bowery was famously the home of Beat Generation writer William S.

The Past, Present, and Future of Performance Engineering

The Past, Present, and Future of Performance Engineering

Thu, Oct 22, 11:00 PM
From New York UX Speed and Web Performance Group
4.8

Performance engineering has never been static. From the early days of mainframes and transaction processing to distributed systems, cloud computing, agile development, and DevOps, performance professionals have repeatedly had to adapt to changes in how software is built and operated. Artificial Intelligence is now accelerating that transformation once again. This talk looks at the evolution of performance engineering through three lenses: what changed in the past, what is changing today, and what those changes may tell us about the future. We will examine how cloud, DevOps, and AI are reshaping performance practices, where traditional approaches are becoming less effective, and how the boundaries between development, operations, observability, and performance engineering are increasingly blurred. Finally, we will explore what this means for performance engineers themselves. Which responsibilities may disappear or be automated? Which new ones will emerge? And what skills will performance professionals need as performance engineering continues to evolve? The future is not set in stone, but the patterns of the past may offer useful clues about where the discipline is heading. [Alex Podelko](https://alexanderpodelko.com/Bio.html) is a **Senior Performance Engineer** at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he focuses on performance testing and optimization of Amazon Aurora. He has worked in performance engineering since 1997, holding performance-focused roles at MongoDB, Oracle/Hyperion, Aetna, and Intel before joining AWS. Alex writes and speaks regularly on performance engineering, with a particular interest in how the discipline is evolving and how performance professionals can work more effectively across development, operations, architecture, and other traditionally separate disciplines. He currently serves on the SPEC Research Group Steering Committee. We will have **food and drinks** and as always, we are going to have **geekaways** with **geeky prizes** provided by our sponsors. **Agenda:** 6:00PM - Arrive at the venue, meet other members 6:15PM - Event starts 6:30PM - **The Past, Present, and Future of Performance Engineering** (Alexander Podelko) 7:15PM - Q&A 7:45PM - "Books and Stuff" geekaways 8:00PM - Open Discussion, Networking Make sure to **fill out your legal name** and **bring your ID** to show at security desk. Please make sure to allow for additional time to go through security downstairs and be prepared to put all your electronics through security screening. Then **take** **G elevator to 64th** floor and transfer to the second bank **and** **take elevator to 88th floor**. Interested in speaking at a NY Web Performance event in the future?
