Speaker
Abstract
Our users expect the interactions in our applications and websites to be fast, no matter how complicated they are under the hood. In this talk, we’ll explore some frontend performance issues encountered by Slack as they continue to grow and evolve the desktop app. We’ll dig into how foundational architectural decisions are motivating these issues and the approaches Slack’s Client Performance Infrastructure team are taking to mitigate and prevent the types of mistakes that compound to create slowness and inefficiency throughout the application.
QCon New York 2023 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
