But outdated security practices pose a significant barrier even to the most efficient DevOps initiatives. These insights are critical to ensuring proactive application monitoring and optimal system performance. Could you tell me how this might help me understand if a system was compromised?” And this poses a significant risk.

As such, one of the more common questions I get from my clients is whether or not their system will be able to endure an anticipated load increase. Does your traffic increase come with updated code changes that change the queries? When you saturate disk IOPS, your system is going to run slow. Do these queries use more caches?

Practitioners use APM to ensure system availability, optimize service performance and response times, and improve user experiences. Causes can run the gamut — from coding errors to database slowdowns to hosting or network performance issues. Mobile apps, websites, and business applications are typical use cases for monitoring.

Regression testing comprises re-running the test cases of already stable features and finding out if the new code changes attributed to the new release led to any negative impacts on the existing functionalities. Regression checks should start as soon as a new build is released for testing and should be repeated for every new code build.

On a humorous note, O(N) remains O(N) no matter how hard we try to make it efficient: MyAssert( std::is_sorted( std::execution::par, begin(s), end(s) ) ); // still O(N) arbitrarily expensive, but good try! If you develop your own assertion system for in-house use, support enabling/disabling at least these kinds of assertions independently. [1]

I've worked with quite a few companies for which long-lived software assets remain critical to day-to-day operations, ranging from 20-year-old ERP systems to custom software products that first processed a transaction way back in the 1960s. The first and most obvious is that they are long on how to start, but short on how to finish.

Platforms are conceptually popular with investors: in theory, a platform makes the mundane portions of a business efficient, scalable and adaptable, allowing a company to release the creative talents of its people to pursue growth and innovation. Core systems are a complex web of integrated rules and functions spun over generations.

Sometimes it is divestiture or separation: sprawling firms that serve different buyers or markets don't achieve much in the way of operating efficiency, and a "conglomerate discount" priced into their equity means there is value that can be released by dividing a firm into multiple businesses. We need to combine systems, and do so quickly.

For example, in the Java world we can measure all kinds of attributes of code: overcomplicated expressions, wasteful use of resources, ghost code, duplicate code, complexity, and so forth. Good in the sense that code quality doesn’t need to be taken for granted, because we can measure attributes of the asset we’re creating.

If you peek under the hood of an ML-powered application, these days you will often find a repository of Python code.
