This is a very good thing to have, in fact Netflix built in monitoring for all users at the start of it’s streaming launch in 2007, and it was the very first workload that moved to AWS in 2009. which provides this as a service and where the chief architect and CTO are both ex-Netflix colleagues of mine.

The steady growth of IT that was accelerating slightly with the advent of client/server gave rise to explosive growth driven by the combination of internet and Y2K. Consider some of the forces that have shaped the current IT landscape in the past 20 years. By the mid-1990's, demand for IT was dramatically outstripping supply.

Even once-idealistic internet companies have been unable to resist the master objective, and in pursuing it have created addictive products of their own, sown disinformation and division, and resisted attempts to restrain their behavior.

Most of us work on connections that are typically quite a bit faster than that of the average internet user. In the early days of the web when we were browsing the internet via a dialup connection, improving performance meant removing the images from your site. I think this myth stems more from a lack of awareness. Performance matters.

I wrote an ftrace toolkit, [perf-tools], and the article [Ftrace: the hidden light switch]. - **perf**: since 2009, this started as a PMC profiler but can do tracing now as well, usually in a dump-and-post-process style. It's fast, but limited in places, and usually only suited as a single-user tool (there are workarounds).

Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things by David Rose 4 ⁄ 5 Rose’s book is a very clearly organized look at how widespread and cheap computing could impact objects from our everyday lives. What I Read in 2009. That, and the many interesting anecdotes along the way, make it an enjoyable book.
