Seeing through hardware counters: a journey to threefold performance increase

The Netflix TechBlog

Drilling down into “hot” methods and further into the assembly code showed us blocks of code with some instructions exceeding 100 CPI, which is extremely slow. This is the summary of our findings: Numbered markers from 1 to 6 denote the same code/variables across the sources and vTune assembly view.

Path to NoOps part 2: How infrastructure as code makes cloud automation attainable—and repeatable—at scale

Dynatrace

Infrastructure as code is a way to automate infrastructure provisioning and management. In this blog, I explore how Dynatrace has made cloud automation attainable—and repeatable—at scale by embracing the principles of infrastructure as code. Infrastructure-as-code. In response, Dynatrace introduced Monaco (Monitoring-as-code).

What is container as a service? How CaaS compares to PaaS, IaaS, and FaaS

Dynatrace

Because container as a service doesn’t rely on a single code language or code stack, it’s platform agnostic. The emergence of Docker and other container services enabled companies to transport code quickly and easily. In FaaS environments, providers manage all the hardware. The classes of CaaS. CaaS vs. PaaS.

How to overcome the cloud observability wall

Dynatrace

There are a few important details worth unpacking around monolithic observability as it relates to these qualities: The nature of a monolithic application using a single programming language can ensure all code uses the exact same logging standards, location, and internal diagnostics. Just as the code is monolithic, so is the logging.
