What

If you are concerned that your Plone site will grow up to be a fatty, you need to seriously consider upfront.diet. upfront.diet is a collection of fat burning code snippets and disciplines that will keep your Plone site fit and in shape. If you want to write Plone apps that need to scale to millions of objects, you'll need a fundamental understanding of what is inside each pickle in the ZODB. This talk will go over the fundamentals and explore the tools that abstract it right away so that you can forget about it, and focus on development.

I own Upfront Systems and have been part of the Plone community since the beginning and have been working with Zope since 2001. I'm a speed hungry and optimization nut and have published significant benchmarks on Plone, Zope and the ZODB in the past. It was a mission of mine to gain a fundamental understanding of Plone performance issues and after 10 years of experience and I can present a crystal clear route for developers that want to use Plone as a development platform. I gave a talk at the Seattle conference and led a sprint at the Naples conference. I am a member of the Connexions technical committee.
