Edge Authentication and Token-Agnostic Identity Propagation

The Netflix TechBlog

Scale of the Netflix service was growing rapidly, with over 2000 device types supported. By offloading token processing from these systems to the central Edge Authentication Services, downstream systems saw significant gains in CPU, request latency, and garbage collection metrics, all of which help reduce cluster footprint and cloud costs.

A thorough introduction to bpftrace

Brendan Gregg

bpftrace is a new open source tracer for Linux for analyzing production performance problems and troubleshooting software. For example, iostat(1), or a monitoring agent, may tell you your average disk latency, but not the distribution of this latency. software Kernel software-based events.

Using Modern Image Formats: AVIF And WebP

Smashing Magazine

If both AVIF and WebP are not viable options, consider evaluating MozJPEG (optimize JPEG images), OxiPNG (non-photographic images), or JPEG 2000 (lossy or lossless photographic images). CDN servers are often located closer to users than origin servers and can have a shorter round-trip times (RTT), improving network latency.

Proof of Concept: Horizontal Write Scaling for MySQL With Kubernetes Operator

Percona

To do so, I built a simple POC that illustrates how you can use Percona Operator for MySQL (POM) and ProxySQL to build a sharded environment with a good level of automation for some standard operations like backup/restore software upgrade and resource scaling. Why ProxySQL? sec) + -+ | count(*) | + -+ | 113 | + -+ 1 row in set (0.00

bpftrace (DTrace 2.0) for Linux 2018

Brendan Gregg

eBPF was created by Alexei Starovoitov while at PLUMgrid (he's now at Facebook) as a generic in-kernel virtual machine, with software defined networks as the primary use case. Back then I could already tell if disks were seeking by interpreting iostat(1) output: seeing high disk latency but small I/O. eBPF does more.
