All right, so super excited for this one. Joining us today is Jonathan Alfred from Robboto Studio. So he started the studio to cut through the noise of bloated agencies focusing on

Um, how we handle fetching, how we handle caching. um when we talk about media, what do we actually do when we come to optimizing it? And finally, we're going to use AI to essentially roll up everything we've learned today um and put it into a set of actionable uh rules. So, let's start from the first one,

diagnosing. So, the first thing I'm going to talk about is observability. If you haven't used observability, it's an incredible tool.

So if you're looking at this here, the first thing you want to notice is what can we actually tell from these graphs and what should we be looking at? Um, and the first thing that stands out to me is the versel functions. So um, the versel functions you see these
