In 2016, Apache Spark introduced Structured Streaming , a new streaming engine based on the SparkSQL abstractions and runtime optimizations. To run our applications, we require computing system resources like CPU, memory, disk, and network bandwidth to be allocated to the critical data services that power the applications.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Teams with this support are free to set performance budgets, do “bakeoffs” between competing approaches, and invest in performance infrastructure. Where to start?

Reduced network and device capacity correlate with other access challenges. Folks with powerful laptops, new iPhones, and low-latency networks are noticing, which is a very bad sign. Teams looking to grow past Level 1 develop (or uncover they already had) Real User Monitoring (" RUM data") infrastructure in previous cycles.

I presented this analysis of response time distributions talk in 2016 — at Microxchg in Berlin ( video ). I think that the structure of the system in terms of functionality distributed across a network of lambda functions, microservices, caches, databases and external services is going to determine the number and position of each peak.

I recently was asked the following question by an online retailer: “Why should I invest in monitoring the user experience when I already have monitoring for our database, infrastructure, app server, and network?”. Instead of asking that question, I asked them this: “Are you a network or hosting provider? Conclusion.

This information can then be used to set up tests within a synthetic monitoring data platform such as Rigor to test how a user experience those flows on every type of device, network, connection, and location. CDNs offload traffic from your core infrastructure, delivering assets much more quickly than you would normally be able to.

Yet this explosion of internet sites and the network protocols and APIs connecting them ended up creating the need for more programmers. And this doesnt even include the plethora of AI models, their APIs, and their cloud infrastructure. Agent infrastructure comprises both new tools and reconfigurations or extensions of existing tools.
