Winning The Performance Race- Gil Eckstein

For the past 2 years, Gil's team has been rewriting one of the most important applications in Wix - the Wix site rendered. A generic renderer for all Wix websites that can render almost any kind of website you can think of.
On that scale, just making it work is a huge challenge, let alone making it work fast.
As our user's expectations of performance increased, they had to focus on making the fastest site renderer in the world.

In this talk, Gil discusses the most critical design decisions his team took to make their application as performant as possible. Gil dives deep into the performance issues they had in their previous applications, describes how they fixed them, and also explains how you can apply the same concepts in your web application.
