Build Automation with Cake + Visual Studio Load Testing Azure Web App

We are featuring two great presentations at this event!

"Build Automation with Cake"
Speaker: David Gardiner

Do you have a complex build process? Is your CI build not quite the same as building locally? Can you grab a fresh copy of the source code and be up and running in minutes?

Cake is a build automation system based on C#. Find out how you can use Cake to orchestrate the entire build process, from compiling, testing, package and deployment. By using C# as the build DSL, you'll feel instantly at home! Hear about David's experiences moving from a traditional multi-step CI build process to driving the build entirely with Cake. See how you can make use of Cake's impressive built in functions and 3rd-party add-ins. Learn how to leverage Cake's extension model to write your own addins to provide custom functionality.

"Visual Studio Load Testing Azure Web App with Application Insights Performance Monitoring"
Speaker: Roy Kim

Roy Kim will walk through a demo of a Visual Load Test on Azure App Service Web App. While doing the load test, look at Application Insights Performance Monitoring and other monitoring that comes out of the box with App Service and Azure SQL. Roy will also share pit falls, challenges and tips from his experiences.
