Observability agents are essential components in modern software development and operations. These software entities act as data collectors, processors, and transmitters, gathering critical telemetry data from applications, infrastructure, and network devices. This data is then sent to centralized observability platforms where it can be analyzed to gain valuable insights into system performance, identify issues, and optimize operations.

In the years immediately following the dot-com meltdown, there was more tech labor than there were tech jobs. That didn’t last long. By 2005, the tech economy had bounced back on its own. After that, the emergence of mobile (a new and lucrative category of tech) plus low interest rate policy by central banks fueled demand for tech. Before the first decade of the century was out, “tech labor scarcity” became an accepted norm.

Teams often consider external caches when the existing database cannot meet the required service-level agreement (SLA). This is a clear performance-oriented decision. Putting an external cache in front of the database is commonly used to compensate for subpar latency stemming from various factors, such as inefficient database internals, driver usage, infrastructure choices, traffic spikes, and so on.

Garbage Collection (GC) plays an important role in Java’s memory management. It helps to reclaim memory that is no longer in use. A garbage collector uses its own set of threads to reclaim memory. These threads are called GC threads. Sometimes JVM can end up either with too many or too few GC threads. In this post, we will discuss why JVM can end up having too many/too few GC threads, the consequences of it, and potential solutions to address them.
