However, more and more of these extensions are being discovered and removed from the store due to their malicious intent.

How We Used JMH to Benchmark Our Microservices Pipeline

At LogicMonitor, we are continuously improving our platform with regards to performance and scalability. One of the key features of the LogicMonitor platform is the capability of post-processing the data returned by monitored systems using data not available in the raw output, i.e. complex datapoints. As complex datapoints are computed by LogicMonitor itself after raw data collection, it is one of the most computationally intensive parts of LogicMonitor’s metrics processing pipeline.

What Are the Hardest Parts of Kubernetes to Learn?

Many enterprises have already adopted Kubernetes or have a Kubernetes migration plan in place, making it clear that the platform is here to stay. While it provides a lot of benefits to its users, to take advantage of them, you need to thoroughly learn Kubernetes and how it works in production. Typically, the most difficult aspects of Kubernetes are learned through experience solving real-world problems.

But how do you know exactly what your velocity is and how you can improve it?
