Slash & Burn the Backend

This month we're at Intercom (https://www.intercom.io/), back on the backend to look at how you can improve the performance of your application's model and data layers over the course of two talks...

Slash Your Query Times - Ciaran Lee be will talking on how Intercom gets better visibility in to their database workload.

ActiveRecord: It Burns! - Brian White will be presenting some of the design problems ActiveRecord (and all ORMs) can introduce to your code.

So you'll have no excuses for sluggish apps after this night!

A big thanks to Intercom for hosting us, along with sponsoring food and drinks.

And also thanks to JetBrains (http://www.jetbrains.com) for the RubyMine IDE licence prizes.
