In this session, I will show you:

• Why Colin Chapman would check for indexes before adding new ones
• The importance of well-tested safety gear to performance tuning
• Why not monitoring your servers is like overdriving your headlights
• Just like races are lost in the pits, uptime records are lost during maintenance windows
