Damian sits down with fellow Aussie and Microsoft Regional Director Troy Hunt to talk about dramatically improving performance for his new Pwned Passwords offering.
Troy runs a popular high traffic site - https://haveibeenpwned.com - so amazing performance is a must, even through unexpected traffic spikes. In this episode, Troy shows us how he's dramatically reduced response times for his new Pwned Passwords feature, and explains how that's a win-win for both him and his users.
