  • realized real user monitoring
• perf eng at aws
  • cut render time in half - not related to profiling, but learned to MEASURE EVERYTHING
  • so many webapps slow, vscode
  • biz interest to make these apps fasts
• prototype of chrome devtools powered by end user session to make perf debugging really easy
  • feels too easy
  • session replay but from devtools
  • replay frames, stack traces, profile the frontend with <1% overhead

        • between start/stop api
        • decide sampling rate - 1%, 2%
      • "we are like amplitude"
• used firefox profiler to get it working

  • tldraw
  • leftonread (YC company) electron can see latency in render process
• can see jank, render flamegraphs
• have prototype working for serverless nodejs context
  • no one is profiling nextjs in vercel, not even datadog
• can offer serverside view and clientside view side by side
• who are you competing with?
  • competing with chrome devtools
  • sentry doesnt profile the web. no company is profiling the web
  • profiler is a program that samples the stack of a program at time intervers
    • or tracing <- sentry does this
  • "palette is a true profiling solution"
    • you cant think of a profile without function calls
  • replay.io -> doesnt profile produciton
    • debugging, not performance
• developers want a profiler
  • in CI/CD
  • based on real user data - the most valuable data
  • anything other than real user metrics are proxy for UX

  • 1 contractor for a while
  • hiring aggressively
  • now because have demo
• stack
  • static analysis in TS
  • migrating to rust

  • supabase
    • pg+timescaledb => timescale cloud
    • didnt like influxdb
  • vitess thru planetscale
    • moved off -> a lot of requirements for ts data
  • why not clickhouse
    • want to reduce tools that we use
    • timescale can query 20m records in a second bc everything fetched from disk in materialized view
    • didnt want all events in separate stack
    • 2 weeks retention
• deal -> SAFE
• want VC?
  • bootstrapped too slow
• size of mkt - growing. increasing imptnce
  • top new alternatives to ddog
  • modern profiler - sentry kind of a toy
  • profiling on the web

tldraw visit

okso.app trbl.dev globs.design

faasaas -> the intermediate cloud

• you want something in between my cloud and your client

ideas for tldraw

• myspace - url component
• subdomakns and custom domaisn for tldraw
• okso.app embeddable pages with navigation and breadcrumbs
• code editor and code hosting - dont need to edit tldraw source code to contribute custom components
• interactive/learnable programming - connectable components
• icon library
• marketing
  • rotation
  • things you take for granted/cant unsee
• read -
  • crdts go brr - 5000x faster than automerge

todo spark joy CSS Filter Demos If you do choose to work with filters, there are a number of sites that demo great capabilities with CSS filter effects. Here are just a few: • HTML5 Demos (http://bit.ly/21SARYv), the source of the preceding images . CSS Filter Playground by Bennett Feely (http://bennettfeely.com/filters/ • CSSReflex(http://www.cssreflex.com/css-generators/filter/ • My personal favorite, CSSGram (http://una.im/CSSgram) by Una Kravets, which mixes filters to make some great Instagram-like effects Keep in mind that animating filters can be very costly. I tend to avoid animating them, or use a setTimeout that will apply the attribute or CSS strictly for the time I need it, and then remove it.
