    Distributed Tracing: All you need to know to get started

    Distributed tracing is a method for tracking operations in a distributed system. It provides end-to-end visibility into microservices architecture. Tracing works through context propagation. Distributed tracing complements logging by providing more context about request flow. It is useful for troubleshooting, debugging, observability, operations, and testing. Developers and DevOps can use distributed tracing to improve their understanding of architectures and environments. OpenTelemetry is an industry standard for collecting distributed tracing data. Jaeger is a popular open source distributed tracing solution. Helios provides deep visualization for troubleshooting applications.

    API Latency in Microservices

    API Latency in Microservices is critical since it directly impacts Microservices’ responsiveness and scalability, says Lahiru Hewawasam. Latency is the time taken for data to travel from one point to another. If one service takes too long to respond, it could lead the requesting service to time out.

    Unlocking the Power of JavaScript Proxies

    JavaScript Proxies are versatile objects that act as intermediaries or wrappers around other objects, allowing for control and customization of interactions. They provide fine-grained control, dynamic behavior, encapsulation, and supports meta-programming and fluent APIs. Proxies can be used for data binding and observability, as well as implementing method chaining and fluent APIs. However, they introduce performance overhead, have limited compatibility, add complexity and have a learning curve.

    What Is Microservices Architecture?

    Microservices architecture allows for the deployment of independent and self-contained services in an organization. It offers flexibility, faster deployment, scalability, and isolated failures. However, it also presents challenges in terms of increased complexity, testing, managing communication systems, and observability. The decision to adopt microservices architecture depends on the environment, team function, application flexibility, and the number of services.

    CI/CD/CF? — The DevOps toolchain’s “missing-link”

    A gap in the infinite DevOps loop left incomplete and how it relates to continuous feedback. When the developer tests the code in the sterile lab of their IDE, it does (almost) always work. There is still a big gap between that local run and what actually happens when the code runs in production.
