Why OpenStack is like a Crowdfunded Viking Movie

VoltDB

It was – like the hypothetical movie I describe above – more than a little bit odd, as you could leave a session discussing ever more abstract layers of virtualization and walk into one where they emphasized the critical importance of pinning a network interface to a specific VM for optimal performance. Very Well!” is the answer.

Seer: leveraging big data to navigate the complexity of performance debugging in cloud microservices

The Morning Paper

Last time around we looked at the DeathStarBench suite of microservices-based benchmark applications and learned that microservices systems can be especially latency sensitive, and that hotspots can propagate through a microservices architecture in interesting ways. When available, it can use hardware level performance counters.
