What is distributed tracing and why does it matter?

Dynatrace

Gaining visibility into monolithic systems before containers, Kubernetes, and microservices was simple. However, in today’s vastly more complex environments, such data offers no overarching view of system health. On its own, this method simply isn’t sufficient for troubleshooting in distributed systems.

An Unbelievable Demo

Brendan Gregg

This is the story of the most unbelievable demo I've been given in world of open source. While I was busy writing and publishing advanced performance tools using DTrace (my open source [DTraceToolkit] and other [DTrace tools]), I noticed something odd: I was producing more DTrace tools than were coming out of Sun itself.

Proposal for a Realtime Carbon Footprint Standard

Adrian Cockcroft

The open source Cloud Carbon Footprint Tool takes billing data (which is available monthly or hourly) as it’s input, along with estimated carbon intensity factors, and can produce workload carbon estimates, but not in real time. At the instance level, many CPU and system architectures have direct access to power consumption metrics.

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

Percona

In modern data architectures, we’re increasingly moving from single-node design systems to distributed architectures using multiple nodes – often spread across multiple databases and multiple continents. In this presentation, we will look at how we can use MySQL to engineer distributed multi-node systems. Register Now.
