Automating quality gates is ideal, as it minimizes manually checking and validating key metrics throughout the SDLC. By actively monitoring metrics such as error rate, success rate, and CPU load, quality gates instill confidence in teams during software releases. Several tools can be used to collect metrics in load/performance testing.

So, we relied on higher-level metrics-based testing: AB Testing and Sticky Canaries. The control group’s traffic utilized the legacy Falcor stack, while the experiment population leveraged the new GraphQL client and was directed to the GraphQL Shim. The Replay Tester tool samples raw traffic streams from Mantis.

Dynatrace Managed is intrinsically highly available as it stores three copies of all events, user sessions, and metrics across its cluster nodes. For example, in a three-node cluster, one node can go down; in a cluster with five or more nodes, two nodes can go down. Minimized cross-data center network traffic.

Log data—the most verbose form of observability data, complementing other standardized signals like metrics and traces—is especially critical. Take the example of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs, which provide insights into the IP traffic of your network interfaces. Managing this change is difficult.

Next, a pragmatic approach involves examining the backend, focusing on Service type entities prominently exposed to the frontend (for example, Apache Tomcat in a Linux environment). In today’s landscape, we lack a clear understanding of properly creating frontend SLOs (for example, RUM application type entities) based on key user actions.

For example, a 16-core box connecting to an 800-server origin would have 12,800 connections. That’s a significant amount and certainly more than is necessary relative to the traffic on most clusters. More acutely, if a traffic spike occurs and Zuul instances scale up, it exponentially increases connections open to origins.

By implementing service-level objectives, teams can avoid collecting and checking a huge amount of metrics for each service. First, it helps to understand that applications and all the services and infrastructure that support them generate telemetry data based on traffic from real users. So how can teams start implementing SLOs?

For example, a member-triggered event such as “ change in a profile’s maturity level” should have a much higher priority than a “ system diagnostic signal”. We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters.
