“Engineers today lack an easy way to track the tokens and prompt usage of their LLM applications in production. By using OpenLLMetry and Dynatrace, anyone can get complete visibility into their system, including gen-AI parts with 5 minutes of work.” Nir Gazit, CEO and Co-Founder Traceloop Why AI model observability matters The adoption of LLMs has surged across various industries, particularly since the introduction of OpenAI’s GPT model.

As teams moved their deployment infrastructure to containers, monitoring and logging methods changed a lot. Storing logs in containers or VMs just doesn’t make sense – they’re both way too ephemeral for that. This is where solutions like Kubernetes DaemonSet come in. Since pods are ephemeral as well, managing Kubernetes logs is challenging. That’s why it makes sense to collect logs from every node and send them to some sort of central location outside the Kubernetes cluster for persistence and l

LinkedIn was able to dramatically improve the scalability and performance of its Espresso database by migrating it from HTTP1.1 to HTTP2, resulting in a reduction in the number of connections, latency, and garbage collection times. To achieve these gains, the team had to optimize the Netty’s default HTTP2 stack to make it fit their needs.

Now that we have understood the importance of cost models and how to create and refine cost models, it's time to start to optimize our workload components. Any workload deployment and architecture contains the key components that are depicted in the architecture diagram given below. All the layers of the architecture provide opportunities for cost optimization.

According to several sources we queried, more than 33 percent of the world's web servers are running Apache Tomcat, while other sources show that it's 48 percent of application servers. Some of these instances have been containerized over the years, but many still run in the traditional setup of a virtual machine with Linux. Red Hat JBoss Web Server (JWS) combines a web server (Apache HTTPD), a servlet engine (Apache Tomcat), and modules for load balancing (mod_jk and mod_cluster).

Earlier this year, when Google announced that Interaction to Next Paint (INP) will replace First Input Delay (FID) as the responsiveness metric in Core Web Vitals in *gulp* March of 2024, we had a lot to say about it. (TLDR: FID doesn't correlate with real user behavior, so we don't endorse it as a meaningful metric.) Our stance hasn't changed much since then.
