By Benson Ma , Alok Ahuja Introduction At Netflix, hundreds of different device types, from streaming sticks to smart TVs, are tested every day through automation to ensure that new software releases continue to deliver the quality of the Netflix experience that our customers enjoy. In this blog post, we will focus on the latter feature set.

Basically, what we call “first-generation” monitoring software. Dynatrace belongs to the third generation of monitoring software where things have changed dramatically – for the better! For instance, when there isn’t enough traffic (late at night), the AI will not act to avoid alert spamming. Old School monitoring.

We took a hybrid head-based sampling approach that allows for recording 100% of traces for a specific and configurable set of requests, while continuing to randomly sample traffic per the policy set at ingestion point. The scope and complexity of our software systems continue to increase as Netflix grows. What’s next?

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.

DevOps automation example #3: Progressive delivery In software development and delivery, if an organization uses feature flags to control feature releases, the marriage of observability data and answer-driven automation becomes a formidable force. Consider an event-driven automation system designed for incident management.

Just like shipping containers revolutionized the transportation industry, Docker containers disrupted software. This opens the door to auto-scalable applications, which effortlessly matches the demands of rapidly growing and varying user traffic. Containers can be replicated or deleted on the fly to meet varying end-user traffic.

The customer had noticed a linear high CPU usage in one of their MySQL instances and was not able to figure out why as there was no much traffic hitting the app. With that we decided to look into MySQL metrics. Talking with the customer, this turned out to be a query that was introduced as part of a new software release.

For web-page loading, this slow-start approach can also affect metrics such as the first contentful paint, because only a small amount of data (tens of to a few hundred KB) can be transferred in the first few round trips. As such, tuning congestion logic is usually only done by a select few developers, and evolution is slow.
