Measuring Real User Performance at GoDaddy 

Performance matters. In an age where we have only seconds to deliver personalized content to consumers all over the world, the art of collecting the right website metrics to evaluate site performance has become invaluable. It's not always easy, but the Performance Engineering team worked extensively with engineering teams around GoDaddy to improve site performance across a wide range of platforms. We’ll dive into how we use ElasticSearch to analyze our millions of hits per day and what it took to get there. 

Phil Russell is a Performance Engineer for GoDaddy. In addition to ElasticSearch, he also works with Chrome Dev Tools, Hadoop, PHP and dabbles in Node.js. When not at work, he enjoys mountain biking in various locations around Phoenix.
