Iron Ops catchy
I pay the Iron Price for lower latency
What is Front-End Ops?
None
“Some weird terms you invented to describe things that don’t
exist.” - John Edgar, Digital Ocean
None
First Of All
More Importantly…
That’s the whole point.
Serving webpages is really hard.
that’s why we have conferences for this stuff (jQConf, FEOpsConf)
Conferences That Don’t Exist
HTML &ENTITY; CONF
SundayMorningConf
Front-End Ops is the collection of things you can do
to make serving webpages easier. opposite of harder
So you can focus on your product.
None
Mature FEOps benefits the people who don’t have time to
think about this stuff.
Lots of folks agree!
So really what is it?
The App Everything Else
The App Everything Else FEOps™
Article Recap
“Front-End Ops Engineers are the bridge between an application’s intent
and an application’s reality”
Why?
We’re collectively insane.
None
Why now?
Application logic is being deferred to the client side.
Performance Testing
Error Logging
Lifecycle Logging
Measurement over time
A Front-End Ops Engineer enables long-term progress
Performance is the foundation on which user experience is built.
A UX in the DOM is worth two on the
wire.
Speed is the metric that we measure by.
Speed of app.
Speed of tools.
Speed of development.
None
(all of these can be measured and tracked)
(all of these can be measured and tracked) ((but it’s
important to read the data right))
Speed of app.
Speed up your app In 5 Simple Steps How To
Step 1 forget everything you know because it’s wrong
Step 2 it’s probably the network
Step 3 Probably Read Ilya’s book
Step 4 measure
Step 5 measure
1) Forget everything 2) It’s probably the network 3) Ilya’s
book 4) Measure 5) Measure Recap
Chrome DevTools Flame Graphs, CPU Profiles, and Repaints/Reflows info are
invaluable.
The limiting factor of your system should be the speed
of light. Assuming you have Fiber

If I had to pick one part that was most
important to FEOps, it’d be all of it
but #2 would be MEASUREMENT
Measure twice. Optimize once.
Make a dashboard.
Things you can put in a dashboard

Requests Over Time 0E+00 2.5E+01 5E+01 7.5E+01 1E+02
Errors There are lots of great companies that will help
you do this these days.
Build Time Over Time
Speed of tools. usually build
Rule #1
The time between making a change, and seeing it in
your app must approach 0.
Rule #2
Never do anything twice.
AKA “Cache Everything”
(feel free to do two things at the same time
though)
Speed of development.
Speed of development. AKA Developer Happiness
Spare no expense.
Take the time to make source maps work.
There should be one easy command to get everything to
work.
There should be one easy command to get everything to
work. Vagrant can help with environments
Turn on LiveReload
Implement Lifecycle Logging
Set a calendar reminder to update your dependencies
Have a rigorous Style Guide that everyone follows, and that
robots yell about. Lint!
If we take care to build robust tools around these
FEOps ideals, ! developers will need to master less, and will be able to focus on users more.
None
Let’s make fast, measurement driven, easily-maintained web applications the starting
point.
