An additional implication of a lenient sampling policy is the need for scalable stream processing and storage infrastructure fleets to handle increased data volume. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing. Storage: don’t break the bank! What’s next?

Which software is the best fit for your organization? Have you tuned your environment? Additionally, it involves the acquisition or development of specialized testing software, which often comes with its own set of training requirements. What is the best path to migrate? Should you consider a phased migration or a full cutover?

Let’s start with this: MongoDB is accurately referred to as source-available software. Many open source proponents, including the Open Source Initiative (OSI) , do not consider software under the SSPL to be open source. We agree with the OSI’s determination that any software under the SSPL cannot be open source.

Before you begin tuning your website or application, you must first figure out which metrics matter most to your users and establish some achievable benchmarks. In the context of web development, performance testing entails using software tools to simulate how an application runs under specific circumstances.

Because they’re separate, they allow for faster release cycles, greater scalability, and the flexibility to test new methodologies and technologies. Security should be an integral part of each stage of the software delivery lifecycle, from development to monitoring in real time. In fact, security risks differ among microservices.

For highly scalable services, going outside of java process is costly, even to go to Memcache or Redis so we do in-memory cache with varying TTL for some highly used data structures like access control computation, feature flags, routing metadata etc. The dedicated Security team runs automated security benchmark tests before every release.
