Building Netflix’s Distributed Tracing Infrastructure

The Netflix TechBlog

If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls. Our trace data collection agent transports traces to Mantis job cluster via the Mantis Publish library.

They can also bolster uptime and limit latency issues or potential downtimes. Adopting open-source standards and tools like Kubernetes lays the groundwork for creating adaptable and transportable solutions that promote application deployment and management in various cloud environments.

Can You Afford It?: Real-world Web Performance Budgets

Alex Russell

Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Contended, over-subscribed cells can make “fast” networks brutally slow, transport variance can make TCP much less efficient , and the bursty nature of web traffic works against us.

Edgar: Solving Mysteries Faster with Observability

The Netflix TechBlog

This difference has substantial technological implications, from the classification of what’s interesting to transport to cost-effective storage (keep an eye out for later Netflix Tech Blog posts addressing these topics). Distributed tracing is the process of generating, transporting, storing, and retrieving traces in a distributed system.

Front-End Performance Checklist 2021

Smashing Magazine

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. Designed for the modern web, it responds to actual congestion, rather than packet loss like TCP does, it is significantly faster , with higher throughput and lower latency — and the algorithm works differently.
