The Art of Using Execution tags to Troubleshoot ECS

In the grand tapestry of software engineering, our journey often winds through labyrinthine layers of application logic. Here, bugs play a compelling game of hide-and-seek, and features dance in an unpredictable ballet. During these instances of fervent exploration, we find ourselves longing for a reliable compass—a secret weapon—to help us decipher the riddles that lie ahead. Cue execution tags, our luminous lighthouse cutting through the dense fog of complexity.

IPoDWDM: Simplify and Save!

IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) can have a large impact on the total cost of ownership of a network. Disaggregating the transponder solution, and installing the Digital Coherent Optic (DCO) directly in the router can both simplify the design and provide significant cost savings. With the advent of ZR+ optics, and advances in silicon chip efficiency, IPoDWDM is poised to become the new standard.

Graphite for Node.js Monitoring

In this article, we will look at how to monitor Node.js applications using Graphite and StatsD and plot the visualizations on a Grafana dashboard. Node.js is a popular framework for creating microservices. Its asynchronous nature allows for high scalability and low latency, especially for I/O bound tasks. However, it is important to have a proper monitoring setup for any application which is running in a production environment.

Quickly create performance and regression tests from a Postman collection

Speedscale is a Y-Combinator backed startup that helps Kubernetes engineering teams build more resilient and performant containerized apps. Unlike other tools, we use agents/sidecars to record and playback sanitized traffic that you see in prod. With Speedscale, engineers can simulate production conditions, generate load, and mock third party backends modeled after real traffic patterns.

Real-Time, Automated Cost Optimization for Amazon EMR

Running your infrastructure in the cloud can lead to wasted resources and ultimately overspending. Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer for Amazon EMR operates dynamically in real time to optimize performance without the need to model your workloads ahead of time, change application code, or platform settings. It provides autonomous optimization continuously, improving resource utilization at both the instance level and with the EMR autoscaler. Watch the full video for a deep-dive on how Pepperdata solves the problem of cloud overspending and resource waste without manual intervention.
