RabbitMQ vs. Kafka: Key Differences

Scalegrid

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that supports multiple messaging protocols , including AMQP, STOMP, MQTT, and RabbitMQ Streams. Apache Kafka is an open-source event streaming platform for high-volume, event-driven data processing. Apache Kafka uses a custom TCP/IP protocol for high throughput and low latency.

What is AWS Lambda?

Dynatrace

This is where Lambda comes in: Developers can deploy programs with no concern for the underlying hardware, connecting to services in the broader ecosystem, creating APIs, preparing data, or sending push notifications directly in the cloud, to list just a few examples. AWS continues to improve how it handles latency issues.

What is observability? Not just logs, metrics and traces

Dynatrace

In these modern environments, every hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure component and every container, open-source tool, and microservice generates records of every activity. Open-source solutions, such as OpenTelemetry , provide a de facto standard for collecting telemetry data in cloud settings.

Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems

The Morning Paper

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems Gan et al., The paper examines the implications of microservices at the hardware, OS and networking stack, cluster management, and application framework levels, as well as the impact of tail latency.

Under the Hood of Amazon EC2 Container Service

All Things Distributed

This key/value store acts as the single source of truth for all information on the cluster (state, and all changes to state transitions) are entered and stored here. To be robust and scalable, this key/value store needs to be distributed for durability and availability, to protect against network partitions or hardware failures.

USENIX LISA2021 Computing Performance: On the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. The video is on [youtube]: The slides are on [slideshare] or as a [PDF]: I work on many areas of performance, but recently I've had a lot of demand to talk about BPF. Ford, et al., “TCP
