How to spot and fix memory leaks in Go

Sep 30, 2024 By George Kampitakis In Datadog
A memory leak is a faulty condition where a program fails to free up memory it no longer needs. If left unaddressed, memory leaks result in ever-increasing memory usage, which in turn can lead to degraded performance, system instability, and application crashes. Most modern programming languages include a built-in mechanism to protect against this problem, with garbage collection being the most common. Go has a garbage collector (GC) that does a very good job of managing memory.

Beyond Backend: Honeycomb for Frontend Observability is Now GA

Sep 24, 2024 By Winston Hearn In Honeycomb
Real user monitoring (RUM) tools are great if you want to give your developers a very high level view of the health of your frontend. But when it comes to actually debugging issues in your web app, you’re often left piecing together outputs from browser devtools, with details (if you’re lucky) from customer support tickets to replicate issues locally in hopes of identifying the source of the issue. Debugging Core Web Vitals (CWVs) to improve your scores can be even worse.

Elevated connection churn can be a sign of an unhealthy distributed system. Connection churn refers to the rate of TCP client connections and disconnections in a system. Opening a connection incurs a CPU cost on both the client and server side. Keeping those connections alive also has a memory cost. Both the memory and CPU overhead can starve your client and server processes of resources for more important work.

The Importance of Securing Data in Traces

Sep 6, 2024 By Jon Skog In Lumigo
Trace spans are captured in the runtime after decrypting the request. This means that any sensitive data is available in plain text. This is also the case for logging; however, logging requires an explicit log statement to be coded by the engineer. Additionally, engineers can add arbitrary information to trace spans, which could expose sensitive information. Collecting sensitive information in trace spans or logging events could expose an organization to a number of risks.
