At Box.net, we care about performance - not just for our own service, but for all cloud services. The better cloud services do as a whole on the performance front, the better customers will feel about moving their architectures to the cloud, which we believe is the ultimate destination of the technology that supports businesses and individuals today.

That’s why we’re teaming up with Percona, the leading MySQL and LAMP stack consulting firm, to sponsor a free tech talk this Tuesday night in Palo Alto, CA given by Percona’s co-founder Peter Zaitsev, previously available only on paid conference circuits. The talk will focus on Goal Driven Performance Optimization: tips and tricks for finding and resolving the most critical performance bottlenecks in your web application. There will also be a Q&A at the end of the talk where you can get your questions answered first hand by the best in the industry.

And because we also believe in free food (we have free breakfast, lunch and snacks at Box), the event will include free, catered dinner. All we ask is that you RSVP ahead of time so that we can know how much food to order.

There are only a limited number of spots, so RSVP today to make sure you can attend.

P.S. If you are an engineer that cares about performance and is infinitely curious about solving problems and making things faster, we currently have a position open for a dedicated Web Performance Engineer. Make a major impact on the leading provider of cloud collaboration by applying today.
