What is distributed tracing and why does it matter?

Dynatrace

As legacy monolithic applications give way to more nimble and portable services, the tools once used to monitor their performance are unable to serve the complex cloud-native architectures that now host them. Gaining visibility into monolithic systems before containers, Kubernetes, and microservices was simple.

Upcoming Webinar Tuesday, 7/31: Using MySQL for Distributed Database Architectures

Percona

Please join Percona’s CEO, Peter Zaitsev as he presents Using MySQL for Distributed Database Architectures on Tuesday, July 31st, 2018 at 7:00 AM PDT (UTC-7) / 10:00 AM EDT (UTC-4). Such architectures bring many benefits (such as scalability and resiliency), but can also bring a lot of pain if incorrectly designed and executed.

Looking back at 10 years of compartmentalization at AWS

All Things Distributed

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. A concept that has changed infrastructure architecture is now at the core of both AWS and customer reliability and operations. The Amazon S3 team still celebrate with homemade pies!

Proposal for a Realtime Carbon Footprint Standard

Adrian Cockcroft

The usual technique for modeling fuzzy systems is Monte Carlo analysis, which computes with distributions rather than precise values. Energy data can be obtained from power delivery systems in datacenters or from intelligent plugs or power strips.

The Surprising Effectiveness of Non-Overlapping, Sensitivity-Based Performance Models

John McCalpin

The presentation discusses a family of simple performance models that I developed over the last 20 years — originally in support of processor and system design at SGI (1996-1999), IBM (1999-2005), and AMD (2006-2008), but more recently in support of system procurements at The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) (2009-present).

10 Lessons from 10 Years of Amazon Web Services

All Things Distributed

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Build evolvable systems. The expectation was that with each order or two of magnitude, we would need to revisit and revise the architecture to make sure we could address the issues of scale. Expect the unexpected. Primitives not frameworks.
