About the Topic
In this talk you will learn about how the performance of Python web applications can be monitored. It will look at traditional approaches for monitoring based on using throughput and response times. It will then illustrate how such an approach to monitoring doesn’t adequately capture some details which are key to properly tuning Python WSGI servers to ensure they are running at their best, and so in turn allowing your Python web application to run at its best.
