It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., Note that my predictions in this talk may be wrong, but they should be thought-provoking.

At USENIX SREcon22 APAC I gave the opening keynote on the future of computer performance, rounding up the latest developments and making predictions of where I see things heading.

Keeping development and usage aside, a lot of people do want to contribute to open-source projects but are not sure where to start. For example, Django is an open-source project and is extremely big, complex and is huge in the web development world. The software is for everybody to use, contribute or provide any help that they want.

Zombies probably won’t consume 32 GB of your memory like they did to me, but zombie processes do exist, and I can help you find them and make sure that developers fix them. I tweeted about my discovery and the investigation was picked up by another software developer and they reproed the bug using my ProcessCreateTests tool.

The developers who investigated knew immediately that something weird was happening but they couldn’t reproduce the bug locally so they were forced to make guesses. But, not surprisingly, when developers see a number around negative one billion their eyes glaze over and the numbers all start to look the same. And it didn’t crash.

The DTU calculator is a free tool you can use to upload performance metrics from your server, and use the data to determine the appropriate service tier if you were to migrate that server to an Azure SQL Database (or to a SQL Database elastic pool ). The default is -1, which means copy all watched SQL Servers.

Switching from Solaris to Linux has become much easier in the last two years, with Linux developments in ZFS, Zones, and DTrace. Linux has also been developing its own ZFS-like filesystem, btrfs. Since ZFS is an add-on developed out-of-tree, it will always be harder to get the same level of attention. LTS (April 2016).

Yet, for all these technological developments, it’s interesting that many of us are still serving sites in the same way Tim did with the very first website — a web server serving static website files. However, unlike the early days of the web, static sites are no longer limited to developers working in a code editor.

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. We had already developed a service mesh control plane that implements the Envoy XDS services.
