Hi folks,

Welcome to Performance Matters. This week, Raygun partnered with Octopus Deploy to deliver a webinar on monitoring deployments for performance issues. If you missed it, keep your eye out next week for the recording!

For this edition, we're exploring what performance means in the context of large-scale software projects like legacy systems and migrations. We've also got a few interactive articles — a JavaScript performance roadmap and a fun tech quiz.

Enjoy!
