Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. 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.

These issues often arise from suboptimal query design, missing or ineffective indexes, or dealing with large datasets. Inefficient query design, such as utilizing SELECT * instead of specifying necessary columns, can escalate data transfer and processing overhead. Next, take a look at your metrics for the InnoDB Log File usage.

Design: Performance is the gap between Figma mockups and the user experience of products for many, but not all , users. The extent to which a product performs well, the higher its likelihood of behaving in accordance to the approved design spec. Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.
