But it’s not easy: to pull this off, VFX studios need to build and operate serious technical infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, and software licensing), otherwise known as a “ render farm.” Many shows have needs that exceed 100,000 frames, so aggregate rendering time can impact the timely delivery of a show on Netflix.

The problem is that this system has a default libc that has been compiled without frame pointers, so any stack walking stops at the libc layer, producing a partial stack that's missing the application frames. This is pretty common and usually goes unnoticed as the flame graph looks ok at first glance.
