I recently wrote about how important it is to make the right thing easy. The opposite is also true: it’s important to make the wrong things difficult. I did allude to it in that post a little bit, but I thought it was worth calling out explicitly. It’s important to introduce some friction in our workflow to help prevent the wrong actions.

Dynatrace news. At Dynatrace, we’re constantly improving the UX and UI of our components and patterns. We recently identified two table-related functionalities that have repeatedly raised questions and increased the need for custom implementations on the Dynatrace platform. These two table functionalities are: expandability of table rows. reordering of table rows.

Dynatrace news. In today’s dynamic environments, you can’t afford to manually bootstrap new monitoring environments. Automatic monitoring orchestration—the ability to automatically create, set up, and deprovision monitoring environments—can make or break your business. We’re happy to announce that the new Environment API is now available in the Cluster API in an Early Adopter release.

Automation testing has become one of the most adopted techniques in the software testing process, it helps to accelerate go-to-market launch while providing enough bandwidth for the testers to work on finding critical test cases. However, I have seen it happen in multiple organizations that the higher-ups often hesitate to implement automation testing for their projects, only due to some misconceptions.

Understanding, detecting and localizing partial failures in large system software , Lou et al., NSDI’20. Partial failures ( gray failures ) occur when some but not all of the functionalities of a system are broken. On the surface everything can appear to be fine, but under the covers things may be going astray. When a partial failure occurs, it often takes a long time to detect the incident.

Back in 2014, I wrote an article called Performance Tuning the Whole Query Plan. It looked at ways to find a relatively small number of distinct values from a moderately large dataset, and concluded that a recursive solution could be optimal. This follow-up post revisits the question for SQL Server 2019, using a larger number of rows. Test Environment.

Let’s go back in time to a year ago. We had just upgraded our app to PHP 7 and we were feeling pretty confident that we had the fastest-loading online accounting software app out there. Turns out we were right — but one calendar year can be a whole lot more in software development years, so we needed to know if we were still on top.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you step by step how to create a simple tool in Node.js to run Google Lighthouse audits via the command line, save the reports they generate in JSON format and then compare them so web performance can be monitored as the website grows and develops. I’m hopeful this can serve as a good introduction for any developer interested in learning about how to work with Google Lighthouse programmatically.

We’ve looked at multiple papers exploring non-volatile main memory and its implications (e.g. most recently ‘ Efficient lock-free durable sets ‘). One thing they all had in common is an evaluation using some kind of simulation of the expected behaviour of NVDIMMs, because the real thing wasn’t yet available.

Memorial at Hawaiian native burial ground, Kapalua, Maui. Picture taken by Adrian March 17, 2020 A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. The system needs to maintain a safety margin that is capable of absorbing failure via defense in depth, and failure modes need to be prioritized to take care of the most likely and highest impact risks.

Adding new functionalities into an existing application or making new code changes due to bug fixes can possibly result in new issues in a software application. QA teams need to follow different procedures to ensure no new issues have been introduced due to code changes. Regression testing is a test approach which helps testers make sure there are no new bugs due to code changes or because a new functionality was added to an existing one.

Serverless in the wild: characterizing and optimising the serverless workload at a large cloud provider , Shahrad et al., arXiv 2020. This is a fresh-from-the-arXivs paper that Jonathan Mace (@mpi_jcmace) drew my attention to on Twitter last week, thank you Jonathan! It’s a classic trade-off: the quality of service offered (better service presumably driving more volume at the same cost point), vs the cost to provide that service.
