Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. This insight led us to build Edgar: a distributed tracing infrastructure and user experience. By 2017, open source projects like Open-Tracing and Open-Zipkin were mature enough for use in polyglot runtime environments at Netflix.

since 2017, and many customers have used it with great success while we collected requirements for the next iteration of our Lambda extension. Distributing accounts across the infrastructure is an architectural decision, as a given account often has similar usage patterns, languages, and sizes for their Lambda functions.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. WebGL 2 launched for other platforms on Chrome and Firefox in 2017.

Speedtest.net's data for India shows dramatic gains, for example , and analysts credit this to improved infrastructure density, expanded spectrum, and back-haul improvements related to the 5G rollout — all of which is to say that 4G users are getting better experiences than they did last year because of 5G's role in reducing contention.
