What's New in Chromium and Other Tools in 2022
It is 2022 and the number of open source frameworks, tools and libraries available is mildly reminiscent of the shovel sellers during the gold rush. With a new tool or framework cropping up almost every other week, it is near impossible to keep up and do meaningful evaluations for your use-cases without losing your sanity. And eventually, FOMO starts to creep in. If this feeling sounds familiar to you, join Kaushal Dalvi in this session as he goes over what is new in 2022 from a web performance perspective and goes over scenarios and situations where some of the shiny new toys can help you improve performance - right from the developer experience to the end user experience in production.
Since he got his first computer at age thirteen, Kaushal Dalvi has been interested in systems and software performance. He spent days researching performance characteristics of different motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and disks to configure and overclock them in order to squeeze the maximum frames per second out of the games he played. Kaushal built and maintained websites for local businesses, where he started learning about performance and reliability. He developed a taste for it, and now ten years later he continues working in the same field as the director of quality and performance engineering at Ultimate Software, leading teams that deal with workload modeling, test scripting and execution, bottleneck analysis, debugging, and much more.
