Speedscale addresses the challenges of scaling Kubernetes in a microservices and containerized, ephemeral environment. This includes real-traffic replays and service mocking to find bottlenecks and tune production and development environments. This episode sponsored by SpeedScale https://bit.ly/46KFWbY Insights on Scaling Kubernetes 🔍 Speedcale helps developers figure out if their code is about to blow up before pushing it into production by creating production conditions in their staging environments and local development machines. 🌐 Kubernetes enables teams to build microservice architectures, breaking the monolith into pieces and allowing for individual scaling of each component. 🚀 The ability to make small code changes and quickly push them to production with Kubernetes provides a time to market advantage for companies. 🚀 Speed and scale are key capabilities for teams testing their code in Kubernetes environments, not just for simulating production. 📊 Monitoring data and load testing are crucial for defining the memory and CPU needs of workloads in Kubernetes environments. 🚀 Scaling Kubernetes clusters can be challenging, but innovations like Carpenter can help manage node sizing and resource allocation effectively. 🔍 Using production monitoring data from tools like New Relic and DataDog can help in tuning production and non-production environments for Kubernetes and microservices. 🔮 Mocking out dependencies with one command line tool can revolutionize the development process and improve developer satisfaction. 🔥 Like and Subscribe 🔥 Connect with me 👋 TWITTER ► https://bit.ly/3HmWF8d LINKEDIN COMPANY ► https://bit.ly/3kICS9g LINKEDIN PROFILE ► https://bit.ly/30Eshp7 Want to support the show?

"Mastering OpenTelemetry and Observability" is a new book by Steve Flanders. Observability in complex systems is crucial, and OpenTelemetry is the future of providing open source and vendor agnostic instrumentation and data collection for better understanding and troubleshooting system behavior. Key Insights on Mastering OpenTelemetry 🔍 Observability in complex systems is crucial for understanding their behavior and troubleshooting. 📊 Observability is about being able to ask any question about the data collected from applications to determine system behavior, including availability, performance, and even security aspects. 🔍 OpenTelemetry aims to solve the issue of vendor lock-in by providing open source and vendor agnostic instrumentation and data collection. 🧠 The opportunity to give back and contribute something valuable to the community is a driving force behind sharing knowledge and expertise in technology fields. 📊 Focusing on availability and performance is crucial for observability, but understanding latency and performance characteristics can be very environment specific. 💡 OpenTelemetry provides data portability and full control of your data, allowing you to choose what you send, filter, sample, enrich, and redact. 💡 OpenTelemetry is the future, and it's in everyone's best interest to come together and make it the best product we can. 📈 OpenTelemetry's rapid acceptance and growth make it a staple in overall observability strategy for monitoring applications and business performance.…

eBPF is a powerful tool for improving performance in Kubernetes and microservices, providing real-time analysis and management, but its complexity may be a barrier for some developers. Donald Lutz shares his experience using it, and some of the pitfalls to watch out for on this SMC Journal #podcast. Key Insights on eBPF Performance 🚀 The use of eBPF can help avoid the complexity and issues with sidecars in #Kubernetes, making it ideal for running on container machines. 📊 The best use case for using eBPF is to measure the performance of interconnected microservices in a complicated system, tying it into tools like Jaeger for comprehensive performance analysis. 📊 The struggle with measuring and understanding the performance of #microservices across multiple clusters highlights the need for better performance #monitoring tools. 🌐 eBPF is not just about performance, but also about broader applications such as observability and there are conferences dedicated to it. 🛡 Making decisions at a low level without adding security overhead is a huge advantage in network #performance and security. 🔄 Turning the ship around to prioritize performance requires making #DevOps native and changing the way development has ignored the issue. 🚀 Performance is vital in technology, dropping phone calls is not super cool. 🕰️ The future of #eBPF adoption depends on how quickly it can be made accessible to a broader range of users. #softwareengineering #performanceengineering…

Load testing Apache Kafka with the LoadRunner Kafka Protocol. What does it look like? Watch a demo of the protocol in action on this episode. Show Notes What is Apache Kafka? A software platform built for event streaming. What is event streaming? Think of it as a central nervous system for all of your applications to communicate. It captures data in real-time from many sources as events, and allows for later retrieval, manipulation, processing, or reacting from other systems. Netflix, Uber, LinkedIn and many of the Fortune 500 are using Kafka. There are many use cases, but they all require high availability and low latency . If there ever was a use case for load testing, this is the one. So how do we approach load testing?
