Optimization Design Patterns - From Games to Web (Yonatan Kra)

The gaming industry leads the way when it comes to squeezing the end-user's machine. Gamers expect a flawless real-like experience.
So do your applications users.
In this talk, we will go over optimization patterns that are used in the gaming industry and see how they can be utilized in web applications in order to boost performance.
What are you going to learn:

1. Practical optimization design patterns
2. How does your code interact with computer hardware and how to maximize this knowledge
3. Real world use cases of using the design patterns

Writing Faster Code with Workflow Paradigm (Amit Choukroun)

Flow-based programming is a programming paradigm that defines applications as networks of "black box" processes, which exchange data across predefined connections by message passing, where the connections are specified externally to the processes (Wikipedia).
Working with "black box" processes can provide a lot of tools which can help developer profile and check memory leaks inside of an application. moreover it can help track records of actions in flow and understand when changes make the performance better or worse.
In this talk we will understand the basic concept of flows and we will discuss the tools that can help us improve our application in terms of performance and scale.

Performance Tuning In Node.js (Tamar Twena)

Node.js has become a very popular platform for writing servers, in the web and the enterprise field. As it becomes present in more production systems, many developers encounter performance problems and need to understand how to optimise their server side performance.
What are the layers that we need to optimise at in our engine?
In which layers we should focus?
In this talk I will focus on Node.js and JavaScript Code optimisations that you should do.
By the end of this session you will have the tools to know from where to start investigating your performance problems, and how to attack them.

In the past,managed a development group in Edgeverve Systems and was an architect of a transaction engine.
She also led a team of performance experts at NCR Retail, was a solution architect in Personetics, and had a start up of her own.
Has a decade of software engineering experience in various technologies.
Currently focusing on Node.js, and have a deep knowledge of Node.js server architecture and Node.js performance optimizations.
