Your Performance Engineering Mentor

Imagine your government launched a digitized election, and on election day, the entire system becomes unavailable due to performance problems.


In our increasingly digitized world, relying on a reactive approach to address reliability issues is no longer effective. Reactive performance issue resolution entails responding to problems as they occur, typically triggered by user complaints or when performance deteriorates to an unacceptable level.


Josef, the Founder of Performetriks, spent the last 24 years improving systems for speed and reliability. He integrated performance and security engineering practices into the software development processes of critical infrastructure providers and solved hundreds of reliability issues. In his projects, Josef was often challenged by a need for more awareness of performance concepts and the reactive but time-consuming way to solve slowdowns after deployments in production.


On a mission to revolutionize how organizations manage software performance problems, Josef invented a unique product called Gobenchmark to guide everyone in building fast and reliable IT services, saving businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars.



Take the guesswork out!


Instead of relying on experiments, organizations can use our self-service Gobenchmark performance engineering maturity assessment. After a few minutes, Gobenchmark users receive a score that shows how Organizations are doing and what gaps they have compared to industry standards. This scoring creates awareness. It makes things such as performance maturity measurable, and businesses get upfront information before running into expensive reliability problems.


Measure the unmeasurable!


The Gobenchmark platform that Josef has invented measures the unmeasurable. A user of Gobenchmark answers 27 discovery questions, and within 2 minutes or less, they see their performance engineering maturity score. The benefit of seeing how organizations and teams mature is that they understand gaps and their impact much faster.


In this digital era, organizations require guidance to address identified deficiencies more than ever. Gobenchmark's maturity scores rely on an AI-backed knowledge-sharing approach. This involves gathering insights from subject matter experts, enhancing them with the repository of performance practices, and crafting actionable plans to help organizations improve their maturity scores.


Evaluating and contrasting maturity scores expedites the detection of shortcomings and facilitates the establishment of industry benchmarks. Just as stock market ratings provide insights into value and risk, Gobenchmark's performance engineering industry benchmark enables organizations to gauge their performance against industry averages and trends.


Observe -> Think -> Action


Businesses compete to attract customers because every client consuming their services equals more revenue and higher profits. The top ten companies in the U.S., such as Apple, Microsoft, or Meta, are digitized businesses that did not exist 30 years ago. High-quality products that are fast and secure are among their top priorities. 


These days, more businesses shift to a digitized service offering because they realize this drives more consumers to purchase their products. At the same time, we are all slowly becoming more dependent on IT services such as online banking, online grocery shopping, online ticket booking, and food delivery services. Consumers suffer if these IT-based services fail due to performance or quality problems.


The stock market once operated without regulations, resulting in significant consumer losses. The introduction of stock ratings by rating agencies led to a turnaround as investors better understood the risks associated with their investments. Gobenchmark offers a comparable rating system that is accessible to everyone. Service providers can detect and address IT reliability issues through these ratings, protecting customers from disruptive service outages.


Instead of relying on the ancient action-observe-think technique, we propose a more intelligent approach: observe-think-action, which we've implemented in our human-AI-powered Gobenchmark platform.
