Applied Software Engineering Case Diary: Field Lessons in Problem Solving
Thu, 24 April, 12:10 PM - 12:40 PM GMT+5:30
Join us for a deep, hands-on exploration of real-world engineering challenges and solutions drawn from enterprise Java, JavaScript, and Eclipse workloads across both cloud and on-premise deployments. This session unpacks valuable lessons from the field, ranging from resolving memory leaks and analyzing CPU bottlenecks to diagnosing elusive multi-threaded race conditions and conducting postmortem debugging using production core dumps.
Through detailed case studies, attendees will gain practical diagnostic techniques and best practices, learning how to interpret symptoms, assess business impact, and apply effective resolutions. This session is designed to equip developers with the confidence and tools to tackle complex, large-scale production issues in their own environments.
Target Audience
- Software Engineers & Developers: Professionals involved in developing and maintaining enterprise applications seeking to enhance their diagnostic and problem-solving skills.
- System Architects: Individuals responsible for designing robust and resilient system architectures who wish to understand common pitfalls and their solutions.
- DevOps Professionals: Team members focused on the deployment and operational aspects of software systems aiming to improve system reliability and performance.
