In this post I will introduce sysgrok, a research prototype in which we are investigating how large language models (LLMs), like OpenAI's GPT models, can be applied to problems in the domains of performance optimization, root cause analysis, and systems engineering. You can find it on GitHub.
Open source Zipkin offers a robust set of features that make it easier for developers to understand and optimize complex distributed systems. Distributed tracing is a technique you can use to trace and monitor requests propagating through a distributed system. It can work in environments where multiple services process a request, making it an essential tool for modern microservices architectures. Zipkin is an open source distributed tracing system for monitoring and troubleshooting complex systems.
Compare Graphite and Prometheus, two leading open-source monitoring solutions.
