APM - Diving in to the async profiler feature of the java APM agent

Distributed tracing is great — it helps you identify (micro)services within complex architectures having issues interfering with user experience, such as high latency or errors. But once a problematic service is identified, it can be difficult to find out which methods are to blame for the slowdown. In this presentation, Felix Barnsteiner (one of the core developers of the APM Java Agent) will show you the different ways to get method-level insight into your application. Specifically, we’ll have a look at the newly added support for profiler-inferred spans that is based on a sampling profiler.

Using logging for your apps running on Kubernetes Engine

Whether you’re a developer debugging an application or on the DevOps team monitoring applications across several production clusters, logs are the lifeblood of the IT organization. And if you run on top of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), you can use Cloud Logging, one of the many services integrated into GKE, to find that useful information. Cloud Logging, and its companion tool Cloud Monitoring, are full featured products that are both deeply integrated into GKE.

#ITConnections - Battle for Bandwidth

The load on cloud-based applications is at an all-time high, with people working from home accessing the same resources, simultaneously.

A large portion of that online traffic accounted for video conferencing and collaboration tools. Microsoft saw a 34% increase usage of Teams while Skype reported 59 million daily active users and 4.3 million on Zoom.

How to Extract Actionable Intelligence With C# Logging

When applications are deployed in the production environment, developers expect them to work smoothly without any performance issues. However, applications often experience unexpected bottlenecks, making it crucial to monitor applications. One of the simplest ways to monitor a C# application is to emit, save, and index log data for search, analysis, and troubleshooting. We’ll discuss how you can monitor your applications while making the most of C# logging.

Challenges Monitoring ReactJS Applications

ReactJS combines the speed of JavaScript with unique rendering capabilities to make applications that are highly dynamic, performance oriented, and responsive to user input. State of JS report 2018 cites performance as the major reason ReactJS has gained so much popularity in such a short time. When it comes to options for building single-page applications (SPAs), React delivers performance advantages over Angular and other JavaScript frameworks and libraries.
