Catch up on the latest Pony developments! This week we have the July 8th sync recording available, and a recap of our Office Hours where we discussed monitoring and debugging Pony applications, including DTrace support, runtime tracing, and performance bottleneck identification.
We’re back after a short break! I was traveling last week, so there was no Last Week in Pony post. This week, we have a few updates and some discussion from the last Office Hours.
There will be no Last Week in Pony next week.
