Cloud-native architectures have brought immense complexity along with increased business agility. But with this complexity comes fragility and lack of transparency into system performance and reliability. At Perform 2024, Dynatrace announced three major platform enhancements aimed squarely at bridging this observability gap for engineering teams. According to Steve Tack , SVP of Product Management at Dynatrace, a key goal is to "help organizations adopt new technologies with confidence.

If you are a site reliability engineer (SRE) for a large Kubernetes-powered application, optimizing resources and performance is a daunting job. Some spikes, like a busy shopping day, are things you can broadly schedule, but, if done right, would require painstakingly understanding the behavior of hundreds of microservices and their interdependence that has to be re-evaluated with each new release — not a very scalable approach, let alone the monotony and resulting stress to the SRE.

Historically, MySQL does not require explicit primary key defined on tables, and it’s like that by default till this day (MySQL version 8.3.0). Such a requirement is imposed through two replication methods, though: Group Replication and Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), where using tables without a primary key is not allowed by default.

However, that pesky 20% on the back end can have a big impact on downstream metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and any other 'loading' metric you can think of. Server-timing headers are a key tool in understanding what's happening within that black box of Time to First Byte (TTFB).

Dynamic Programming ( DP ) is a technique used in computer science and mathematics to solve problems by breaking them down into smaller overlapping subproblems. It stores the solutions to these subproblems in a table or cache, avoiding redundant computations and significantly improving the efficiency of algorithms.
