In my career building distributed systems, I’ve found that the deadliest performance killers are often invisible. They lurk in the cracks between services and in the treacherous drift between "clean" test environments and the chaotic reality of production.

In this session, I’ll pull back the curtain on the most complex performance puzzles I’ve solved. We’ll analyze the technical root causes, the observability tools used to unmask them, and why traditional testing often fails to catch them. You'll leave with a practical framework to bridge the gap between staging and reality.
