DECEMBER 23, 2020

Traditional software monitoring platforms collect observability data in three main formats: Logs: Timestamped records of an event or events. Especially in dynamic microservices architectures, distributed tracing is essential to monitor, debug, and optimize distributed software architecture, such as microservices.

Fallacy #8: The network is homogeneous

Particular Software

JUNE 28, 2021

Around 2005 or 2006, it wasn’t so bad. Most of the code running on the planet, at least the code that mattered, was written in.NET or Java, and interoperability via web services was at least serviceable. Consider for a moment a software system for a hospital emergency room. Now consider a software system for a pharmacy.

In 2006, I got a call from a Forrester analyst. I was in the midst of wrapping up my thesis and spending most of my days coding, and had no clue as to why an analyst would want to talk to me. It had a good decade-long run and helped get many people thinking beyond the code, to the lifecycle of the application as a whole.

When we build software, we don't always buy insurance on the software. For software we build, we underwrite the responsibility for the fact that it will be technically sound and functionally fit, secure and reliable, and will work in the client and server environments where it needs to operate. There is nobody else.

Browsers move more slowly than sites (at the micro scale), but sites must contend with huge browser diversity and are therefore much more conservative about removing “working” code than browser engineers expected. Between 2002 and 2006, the web (roughly) didn’t add any new features. Was that better? Not hardly.
