We took a hybrid head-based sampling approach that allows for recording 100% of traces for a specific and configurable set of requests, while continuing to randomly sample traffic per the policy set at ingestion point. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

In technical terms, network-level firewalls regulate access by blocking or permitting traffic based on predefined rules. ‍At its core, WAF operates by adhering to a rulebook—a comprehensive list of conditions that dictate how to handle incoming web traffic. You've put new rules in place. Let's dive deep into these challenges.‍1.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. I've shared many posts about superpower observability tools, but often humble hacking is just as effective. These can be invisible to top(8). include <sys/time.h>
