USENIX LISA2021 Computing Performance: On the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

I summarized these topics and more as a plenary conference talk, including my own predictions (as a senior performance engineer) for the future of computing performance, with a focus on back-end servers. This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance.

Monitor MySQL And Auto Recover From A Crash

The Polyglot Developer

Since starting this blog in July of 2014, I have had an unexpected amount of growth. So much, that a lot of strain has been placed on my virtual private server (VPS). This is because the server has run out of resources due to traffic spikes or other anomalies.
