The 4th Community Over Code Performance Engineering track is on, this time in Europe, in Bratislava, Slovakia, June 03–05, 2024, here’s the CFP. Stefan Vodita who spoke at the event in Halifax is a co-chair, and Roger Abelenda will assist remotely.

Here’s the history of the event so far!

  1. 1st Performance Engineering track CFP (ApacheCon New Orleans 2022), and the summary.
  2. 2nd Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code, Beijing 2023.
  3. 3rd Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code, Halifax 2023, and the review.

The acceptance rate for the events has been < 50%, and technologies covered in the 18 accepted talks so far include:

  • Apache Kafka
  • Apache JMeter & Selenium
  • Kubernetes
  • Apache Arrow
  • Java Profiling
  • Apache Flink
  • Apache Spark/ML
  • Apache Hadoop
  • Apache Ozone
  • Apache Cassandra
  • Apache Camel
  • Apache Lucene

Attendance has increased from 100 in New Orleans to 120+ in Halifax. We’ve had many interesting performance engineering topics over the last 3 events, and I was excited to see some best-practices novel solutions presented in Halifax (which I had hoped which eventually surface as best-practices in the open source community, as they have been used in the academic community for a while) including:

  • How to transfer skills and tools from performance engineering to software engineers
  • Simulation and modelling
  • Source and byte code analysis for performance, and
  • More rigorous longitudinal performance benchmarking, including taking into account bias and noise.

So, the countdown is on (CFP closes on the 12 January 2024) so please submit your ideas and experiences for Open Source Performance Engineering here.
