case study

The compound effect is when small changes executed consistently over time lead to dramatic results. It can go both ways, either enhancing the positives or aggravating the problems. Regular profiling, or lack thereof, is a good example of the compound effect. If you invest a little bit of time in making small but steady improvements in your application’s performance, they can lead to huge benefits over time. And vice versa, if you keep neglecting issues, they will compound, and sooner or later you’ll have a sluggish and unwieldy piece of software on your hands. More often than not, developer

Some memory issues are non-critical, but rather annoying. They occur once every couple of months and then disappear again. Of course, these annoying bugs only show up once an application is operating under production conditions. However, such problems can often be solved using a profiler. Shyam Sundar shares one such story in this interview. Hey Shyam! Could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about the activities you are mainly involved in at work? I’m Shyam, and I live in Culver City, California. Currently, I work for Amazon, but until recently, I worked for a company called B

You can develop fairly efficient applications straight away without a profiler, but if you work with third-party code via API, then bottlenecks will occur quite often. It is impossible to predict, but it is still possible to account for third-party code specifics without having the code itself. One story like this was shared by Jonas Meer in this interview. Hi Jonas! Could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about the work you are involved in? I work at a small startup called aurivus. So I do many things there, but mainly I'm a software developer in .NET and sometimes in C++. I

Today, we would like to share a few user stories about using the dotTrace performance profiler. We will tell you how a flaw was found in the new Intel CPUs' architecture, as well as how to find application performance problems when testing in the conventional sense is impossible. We’ll also share some tips and tricks and explain why you should use profilers more often than you probably do. Hi, Kevin! Could you briefly introduce yourself and tell us about the work activities you are mainly involved in? I have been working as a staff engineer at Datadog for a bit more than a year now. Th

For the past year and a half we've been running the Early Access Program for Rider for Unreal Engine – our new IDE for developing games in C++ using Unreal Engine. The program has attracted tens of thousands of indie game developers as well as numerous gamedev studios and companies of all sizes. We were curious to discover what they value the most in the product, what they like about it, and what they might be missing. We decided to talk with Viacheslav Dubikovsky, Technical Director at Wargaming RED, a gamedev studio that recently opened in Moscow, Russia, as part of Wargaming Group Limi

A few weeks back, we had a chat with Dariusz Komosinski, Lead Software Engineer at GritWorld. He shared with us some background about how they use JetBrains Rider and the cross-platform Avalonia UI framework to build GritGene, their powerful real-time 3D graphics engine. Hi Dariusz, can you tell us a bit more about yourself and GritWorld? I am a Lead Software Engineer at GritWorld. Throughout my career, I have worked on various products, such as warehouse automation, point of sale systems, and virtual reality applications. I now develop tooling for 3D real-time engines and content creati

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been chatting with Laurent Kempé, Team Leader & Distinguished Solution Architect at Innoveo. They are using JetBrains Rider to write code for their no-code platform. Let’s take a look at their journey…

A few weeks back, we had a chat with Roland Soós, one of the software developers working on Wasabi Wallet. They shared with us how they use JetBrains Rider to build their application that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux thanks to the cross-platform Avalonia framework. (more…)

Today, we would like to share with you how MRstudios is using JetBrains Rider. They have a team of software developers, visual effects artists, and 3D artists working together to develop real-time 3D applications for the manufacturing industry. We spoke with Thomas Weiss, Technical Director and Co-Founder of MRstudios. Hi Thomas! Can you tell us a little more about yourself and MRstudios? I am the Technical Director and Co-Founder of MRstudios, a company I established with my friend Morten in Berlin in March 2016. In 2017, we incorporated the company in Prague. I have a Master’s degree in Com
