So many bad takes?—?What is there to learn from the Prime Video microservices to monolith story

Adrian Cockcroft

They state in the blog that this was quick to build, which is the point. His first edition in 2015 was foundational, and he updated it in 2021 with a second edition. When you are exploring how to construct something, building a prototype in a few days or weeks is a good approach. Finally, what were they building?

Observability platform vs. observability tools

Dynatrace

Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage. They are particularly important in distributed systems, such as microservices architectures. Observability platforms are becoming essential as the complexity of cloud-native architectures increases.

As before, no one at Netflix has asked me to write this, and this is my personal blog and not a company post. A latency outlier issue that happened every 15 minutes. Time flies!

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2024

Alex Russell

JavaScript-Heavy # Since at least 2015, building JavaScript-first websites has been a predictably terrible idea, yet most of the sites I trace on a daily basis remain mired in script. [1] The blog you're reading loads over a single connection in ~1.2 and 75KiB of JavaScript. These are generous targets. That's where the good news ends.
