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 engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

DBLog: A Generic Change-Data-Capture Framework

The Netflix TechBlog

The database is sending them to a transport that DBLog can consume. We use the term ‘ change log’ for that transport. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low. Figure 4— Delta Connector.
