ZocDoc has been growing by leaps and bounds and is rapidly becoming the default method to find doctors online.  Come learn about the steps we've taken to systematically create a culture of performance:

• Evolving the caching strategies as site traffic outgrows each previous strategy 
• Frameworks to detect performance bugs in production
• Steps in the continuous build cycle to prevent performance bugs
• Detecting edge cases that cause slow response times
• Keeping the database happy

Nick Ganju is CTO and co-founder of ZocDoc. He was on the founding teams at Mixonic and eBoodle (acquired by BizRate/Scripps Networks). Prior to ZocDoc, he was CTO of CFX. Nick holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Columbia Business School (May 08).
