Performance Engineering Why so many companies don’t get it – Part 3
In the previous 2 posts we described several ways in which sub optimal performance engineering practices manifest themselves, as well as identified the lack of goal commonality between developers and performance engineers as one of the key reasons behind these sub optimal practices.
