Hey Hackers! Do you have a kick-ass software performance story to share? Here’s your chance to win money from a $1000 monthly prize pool. Share your story today to enter the #debugging writing contest sponsored by Sentry and HackerNoon.
Just check out this writing prompt shared by Sentry and pen down your story.
Need more details? No worries, we’ve got your back.
Write about a time when you struggled (and later, triumphed!) to identify a performance issue in your web application, mobile application, or game, and the steps you took to ultimately improve the application's performance.
Some ideas to help you get started:
- Do you remember finding out customers were experiencing slow load times?
- Was it right after a new microservice was launched?
- How were you notified? A monitoring tool? Frustrated emails?
- Did a problem arise from Django or another Python framework?
- Were there inefficient database queries causing slowdowns?
Good luck!
