Built-in Application Resiliency Allan Shone  Failover Conf 2020

May 5, 2020 By Gremlin In Gremlin
When starting a new application build, starting with an eye on resiliency prevents headaches down the line. There are many ways to tackle this, especially within different language environments and system eco-systems, but there are many shared across them all. Getting a high-level take-away list to use as a reference later, from a dive into them during this talk, viewers will learn how to develop software that is more fault-tolerant and able to with-stand impact of failures.

Pitfalls in Measuring SLOs  Danyel Fisher & Liz Fong-Jones  Failover Conf 2020

May 5, 2020 By Gremlin In Gremlin
We built support for SLOs (Service Level Objectives) against our event store so we could monitor our own complex distributed system. In the process of doing so, we learned that there were a number of important aspects that we didn’t expect from carefully reading the SRE workbook. This talk is the story of the missing pieces, unexpected pitfalls, and how we solved those problems. We’d like to share what we learned and how we iterated on our SLO adventure.

Human-in-the-Loop DevOps  Taylor Barnett  Failover Conf 2020

May 5, 2020 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Within DevOps, automation has become a North Star. We want to automate the toil away, but the goal of "no toil" is unattainable. Many runbooks can only be partially automated because they still require human intervention and insights. Human-in-the-Loop DevOps is the idea that we can benefit from automating toil while still embracing the human interaction in specific tasks.

Feature Spotlight: Explore

May 5, 2020 By Aviad Mor In Lumigo

We’ve recently updated one of the most powerful features in Lumigo: Explore, and I wanted to tell you a bit more about it and what it can do for you. Explore is a quick and easy way to find events you are interested in your Lambda invocations. Without a feature such as Explore, you would have to sift through thousands of invocations to find what you are looking for, wasting a lot of time.

Observability: 80% Practicing in the Next 2 Years

May 5, 2020 By Deirdre Mahon In Honeycomb

Finding the unknown unknowns is the coveted observability sweet spot. However, it’s the actual doing it that proves a bit more challenging especially when you’re weaning off legacy tools.
