In the ever-evolving landscape of modern software development, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have emerged as crucial building blocks that enable seamless communication between different software systems, applications, and services. APIs act as intermediaries, allowing developers to access the functionality and data of existing software components, making it easier to build new applications and integrate various services into a unified ecosystem.

To follow up on our previous survey about low-code and no-code tools, we decided to run another short survey about tools specifically for software developers—including, but not limited to, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT. We’re interested in how “developer enablement” tools of all sorts are changing the workplace. Our survey 1 showed that while these tools increased productivity, they aren’t without their costs.

Caching is the process of storing frequently accessed data or resources in a temporary storage location, such as memory or disk, to improve retrieval speed and reduce the need for repetitive processing. Benefits of Caching Improved performance: Caching eliminates the need to retrieve data from the original source every time, resulting in faster response times and reduced latency.

Service mesh emerged as a response to the growing popularity of cloud-native environments, microservices architecture, and Kubernetes. It has its roots in the three-tiered model of application architecture. While Kubernetes helped resolve deployment challenges, the communication between microservices remained a source of unreliability. Under a heavy load, the application could break if the traffic routing, load balancing, etc., were not optimized.

User experience monitoring is critical for organizations that want to keep their end users happy, whether they are customers, admins, or employees. Many organizations’ IT teams address digital experience in the latter half of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). But with the rise of DevSecOps and the “ shift left ” of development practices, more organizations are beginning to see the benefits of building user experience earlier into the SDLC.

By: Hamid Shahid , Laura Johnson , Tiffany Low Synopsis At Netflix, we have created millions of artwork to represent our titles. Each artwork tells a story about the title it represents. From our testing on promotional assets , we know which of these assets have performed well and which ones haven’t. Through this, our teams have developed an intuition of what visual and thematic artwork characteristics work well for what genres of titles.

For most organizations, online service reliability that balances innovation and uptime is a primary goal. SLO monitoring and alerting on SLOs using error-budget burn rates are critical capabilities that can help organizations achieve that goal. In the digital age, a company’s success depends on the reliability of its online services. To manage this crucial aspect, many companies adopt service level objectives (SLOs).

Before our meeting, we started with a question to begin the morning: What board game or tabletop game have you played that you would recommend to others? Itamar Marom suggests that Catan as a good board game, which takes a lot of time, super annoying when you lose, but generally a lot of fun. So highly suggested! Other members like Hugh Lashbrooke and Robert Hodges prefer Monopoly, where you must reach a higher level of monopoly awareness to enjoy it fully.

By Arthur Gonigberg , Argha C Plaintext Past When Zuul was designed and developed , there was an inherent assumption that connections were effectively free, given we weren’t using mutual TLS (mTLS). It’s built on top of Netty , using event loops for non-blocking execution of requests, one loop per core. To reduce contention among event loops, we created connection pools for each, keeping them completely independent.

iOS development has long been associated with Apple's ecosystem and Xcode, which is only available for macOS. However, with the growing popularity of iOS apps, developers using Linux have sought ways to perform iOS development on their preferred operating system. While the process is more complex than on macOS, there are several effective ways to carry out iOS development on Linux.

The observability landscape is witnessing a radical transformation today. The central driver of this shift is eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), a technology that is revolutionizing how we observe and monitor systems. In an earlier post , we took a detailed look at the technology of eBPF and its implications for observability. In this article, we will compare eBPF-based instrumentation with other instrumentation methods like code agents and sidecars and see which best suits the needs of obs

Some years ago, I worked closely with the Spring Framework team as a product manager at Pivotal Software. In 2015, the Spring folks already regarded Dynatrace as the gold standard for performance monitoring. With PurePath® distributed tracing, method hotspots, service flows, memory, and GC analysis, Dynatrace earned its reputation.Since then, Spring and Dynatrace have matured and improved, especially for containers, cloud integrations, and Kubernetes.
