Scaling problems are good problems to have. However, performance bottlenecks can be stressful, time consuming to find, and even more difficult to know how to prioritize.

Frontend optimization is required for great user experience, SEO and sales. But measuring is harder than it should be and can often give conflicting results.
Regardless of frontend framework or toolchain, we’ll identify and target the metrics that matter most, implement 2019 best practices and work to resolve common issues as render blocking javascript, bloated bundle sizes, lack of CDN coverage and more.

Sudara Williams dabbles in "the fullest of stacks" but enjoys chewing on the tough bits. He wrote his first (and last) programming book in the 6th grade. He fell in love with ruby in 2005. He worked at Engine Yard, helping clients such as Github, Groupon and New Relic do the hard stuff (scale) before starting Rubytune in 2012. He runs alonetone, the open source artist platform.
Sudara (github, twitter) lives in Vienna, Austria where he plays ukuleles and synthesizers.
Will Jessop deployed, scaled and debugged Rails applications at Engine Yard before doing a 5 year ops stint at Basecamp (37signals). He does exactly the right amount of thinking before doing, writes tooling in Go and Ruby, and generally is a a very British human being.
Will (github, twitter) lives in Manchester, UK, where he fiddles with robots.
Joshua Sierles worked in security and systems administration since the early days of the web. Before starting Rubytune in 2012 with Sudara, he helped build the Basecamp ops team and infrastructure.
Peter Woo consulted with Rubytune from 2014-2016 and built tooling like Perf Check before heading off to defend the internet at the EFF.
Nathan Bertram consulted with Rubytune from 2016-2019 where he tuned apps and kicked off the second generation of our open-source performance testing tool, Perf Check CI.
As a solo founder, performance optimization has never been my strong point. Sudara saved me so, so much time and so, so many headaches by quickly diagnosing, fixing and improving — all while keeping in close communication. Honestly, you might be surprised at just how fast your app can be! (Frontend & Rails)
