I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. Sometimes it even lead to conclusions like “performance testing hitting the wall” just because load generation may be a challenge.

At the Linux Plumber's conference there were at least 24 talks on eBPF. eBPF should stand for something meaningful, like Virtual Kernel Instruction Set (VKIS), but due to its origins it is extended Berkeley Packet Filter.

bpftrace is a new open source tracer for Linux for analyzing production performance problems and troubleshooting software. Linux already has many performance tools, but these are often counter-based and have limited visibility. Originally posted at https:/opensource.com/article/19/8/introduction-bpftrace. Attaching 2 probes. ^C

I became the Sun UK local specialist in performance and hardware, and as Sun transitioned from a desktop workstation company to sell high end multiprocessor servers I was helping customers find and fix scalability problems. Rich became co-author of the second edition of the Sun Performance Tuning book, to describe how it worked.

Ruby, C++, and Rust are now Lambda languages directly supported by AWS. lightweight virtualization for Serverless Computing”. work that would have been significantly faster to perform and quite possibly a lot cheaper if this new feature had been available at the time. Lambda, alone, had a treasure trove of updates: Python 3.7,
