Build It Fast, Make It Quick

Explore the balance between rapid development and application performance in this conference talk from NDC London 2023. Learn why focusing solely on performance can be detrimental and understand the risks of premature optimization. Discover strategies for building applications quickly while addressing performance concerns later. Examine the pros and cons of various architectural approaches, including monoliths, microservices, and micro-frontends. Gain insights on when to use Docker and Kubernetes versus bare metal servers. Understand the value of shipping temporary code to production and learn when to implement advanced architectures based on customer needs. Challenge common assumptions about optimization and discover practical approaches to building efficient, scalable applications without sacrificing development speed.
