Slow systems bleed money before they ever crash Slow systems don't just annoy users, they cost companies real money, and most teams only find out when the phone starts ringing. With Rao Dhaligadoo I talk about what it actually takes to catch performance problems before customers do. We get into how a 70 percent CPU threshold can trigger an automated chain of monitoring, ticket creation, and root cause analysis, and why that matters more than it sounds. Rao also shares what it feels like to spend 45 hours in a war room at a bank, watching a CIO walk in at 1 a.m. while the whole team sits in silence, and how that experience shaped the way he thinks about proactive testing.
