Seeing through hardware counters: a journey to threefold performance increase

The Netflix TechBlog

A quick canary test was free of errors and showed lower latency, which is expected given that our standard canary setup routes an equal amount of traffic to both the baseline running on 4xl and the canary on 12xl. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”

Balancing Low Latency, High Availability, and Cloud Choice

VoltDB

Balancing Low Latency, High Availability and Cloud Choice Cloud hosting is no longer just an option — it’s now, in many cases, the default choice. As a result, IT teams picked hardware somewhat blindly but with a strong bias towards oversizing for the sake of expanding the budget, leading to systems running at 10-15% of maximum capacity.

Cloud infrastructure monitoring in action: Dynatrace on Dynatrace

Dynatrace

Sydney, we have a disk write latency problem! It was on August 25 th at 14:00 when Davis initially alerted on a disk write latency issues to Elastic File System (EFS) on one of our EC2 instances in AWS’s Sydney Data Center. The AWS team confirmed a known hardware issue affecting a certain amount of EC2 machines in that region.
