Webinar
Register now for "IBM Enterprise Impact Analysis Using VS Code"

Are you struggling to comprehend how data and business rules flow through your IBM enterprise systems?

You are not alone.

Many engineers are stuck using outdated technologies to analyze code that are tedious and time-consuming. In this webinar, we will show you how a modern, rich, browser-based technology integrated with VS Code and Gitlab can make short work of your Z analysis tasks in an intuitive and graphical way.

This webinar will leave you with a better analysis system that's easy to work with day-to-day, and bring you peace of mind knowing you have a complete grasp of the inner-workings of your enterprise system.

The powers that be at your organization will love you for it.

We will discuss the following topics:

* Creating project and system documentation automatically
* Tracing data flows across program and database boundaries
* New analysis capabilities including Oracle and Teradata
* VSCode/Devops/GitHub Integration

Heads Up
Fixing Performance Regressions Before they Happen
Netflix is proud of their reliability and they want to keep it that way.

Since Netflix is "used by 222 million members and runs on over 1700 device types ranging from state-of-the-art smart TVs to low-cost mobile devices", they have quite the task on their hands. 

In a post published earlier this year, Netflix describes how the Netflix TVUI team is able to detect performance anomalies before new code changes are committed to production.
