In the first two parts of this series, we understood the importance of cost models and how to create and refine cost models. In the subsequent parts, we learned how to optimize our workload components across infrastructure, applications, and data. In this final part, we will present the impact and results related to applying the cost optimization and ShiftLeft FinOps techniques for a cloud-native application.

Error logging is a critical aspect of database administration, providing insights into issues, warnings, and errors that may affect the system’s stability and performance. MySQL 8 introduces Error Log Filtering as a mechanism to fine-tune the error log, allowing administrators to focus on the most critical issues. By assigning priorities to different error types, administrators can control which errors are logged, creating a more concise and actionable error log.

Mobile applications (apps) are an increasingly important channel for reaching customers, but the distributed nature of mobile app platforms and delivery networks can cause performance problems that leave users frustrated, or worse, turning to competitors. As a result, organizations need to monitor mobile app performance metrics that are meaningful and actionable by gaining adequate observability of mobile app performance.

Sometimes, the replica server might have replication errors, and the replica might be out of sync with the primary. In this case, we can use Percona Toolkit’ s pt-table-checksum and pt-table-sync to check the data drift between primary and replica servers and make the replica in sync with the primary.

We’ve all been there. An important fix is waiting to be delivered, and a manager asks you why it’s taking so long and says that the pipeline was much faster a few months ago. Although you disagree with the assessment, you can’t dispute it because you don’t have the data to show that the pipeline is not slower. At Dynatrace, Jenkins is the most used Continuous Integration (CI) tool.

Generators in Python are literators they produce data one element at a time. Generators are memory efficient. They don’t store the entire sequence upfront, making them ideal for large datasets. This emphasizes its ability to handle potentially infinite or very large sequences without memory limitations. They are created using a special kind of function known as the generator function, which contains one or more ‘yield’ statements.
