Getting Started

Performance engineering is evolving — and so is the conversation around it.Across industries, performance testers, engineers, and reliability practitioners are navigating rapid change: AI‑driven analysis, smarter test design, shifting expectations around scale and resilience, and growing pressure to translate results into actionable insight, all while application release velocity accelerates dramatically. While the challenges may look different from one organization to the next, many of the challenges we face as performance engineers remain similar. More than that, the future of all IT work, including performance engineering, is being heavily disrupted by the introduction of sophisticated AI tools. What that means for this profession is something many of us are curious about. That’s where the Performance Advisory Council (PAC) group in ShiftSync comes in.The PAC group is a peer‑driven space designed for professionals working in performance testing and performance engineering to compare
