Investigation of a Workbench UI Latency Issue

The Netflix TechBlog

Using this approach, we observed latencies ranging from 1 to 10 seconds, averaging 7.4 However, when we captured packets on the ZeroMQ socket while reproducing the issue, we didn’t observe heavy traffic on this socket that could cause such blocking. Meanwhile, traffic from other ports, such as port 22 for SSH, remained unaffected.

What are quality gates? How to use quality gates to deliver better software at speed and scale

Dynatrace

Before a new version of the application is deployed, the software is subject to a series of load tests that evaluate capacity and performance under a series of simulated traffic and application demands. These metrics are latency, traffic, errors, and saturation, all of which must be key considerations when curating user experience.

Service level objectives: 5 SLOs to get started

Dynatrace

Note : you might hear the term latency used instead of response time. Both latency and response time are critical to ensure reliability. Latency typically refers to the time it takes for a single request to travel from its source to its destination. Latency primarily focuses on the time spent in transit.

Noisy Neighbor Detection with eBPF

The Netflix TechBlog

Continuous Instrumentation of the Linux Scheduler To ensure the reliability of our workloads that depend on low latency responses, we instrumented the run queue latency for each container, which measures the time processes spend in the scheduling queue before being dispatched to the CPU. For this purpose, we chose the eBPF ring buffer.

These include challenges with tail latency and idempotency, managing “wide” partitions with many rows, handling single large “fat” columns, and slow response pagination. This model supports both simple and complex data models, balancing flexibility and efficiency.
