Dynatrace news. We’re back in Barcelona for our second European Perform Summit, where the theme of autonomous cloud operations is traversing every aspect of the event. The foundational step on the journey to operations automation starts with adopting a new approach to monitoring – to paraphrase the adage: you can’t automate what you can’t measure. Traditional monitoring tools (we call them 2nd Generation) quickly hit a wall when up against the scale, dynamic nature and new technologies that powe

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy Tsai & Sanchez, ASPLOS’19. Last time out we saw how Google have been able to save millions of dollars though memory compression enabled via zswap. One of the important attributes of their design was easy and rapid deployment across an existing fleet. Today’s paper introduces Zippads , which compared to a state of the art compressed memory hierarchy is able to achieve a 1.63x higher compression ratio and impr

Customers with Kafka clusters struggle to understand what is happening in their Kafka implementations. There are out-of-the-box solutions like Ambari and Cloudera Manager which provide some high-level monitoring; however, most customers find these tools to be insufficient for troubleshooting purposes.
