The Four Golden Signals, developed by Google SREs, are key metrics used to monitor the health of your systems. In today’s complex IT environments, these key metrics can help engineers and IT operations prioritize the most significant issues to address. The Four Golden Signals include: - Latency: the time it takes to serve a request - Traffic: the total number of requests across the network - Errors: the number of requests that fail - Saturation: the load on your network and servers In the following 9-minute video, I focus on two of these signals in particular, latency and errors, because they often result in customer-facing symptoms. Specifically, I share how alerting on latency and errors in combination with certain de-bugging metrics can result in a low false positive rate while giving engineers the insights they need to identify root cause. Check out the video for quick tips that will help you triage, understand, and resolve incidents at your company faster. Originally posted on https://lnkd.in/eAUwXGue.

Google Spanner Bends the CAP Theorem ? Let's quickly talk about CAP Theorem , it was proposed by Eric Brewer and highlights the trade-offs in distributed systems. It stands for Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance, it says that a distributed system can achieve only two out of these three at any given time. - Consistency: Everyone sees the same, up-to-date data, always. - Availability: The system is always ready to answer your requests. - Partition Tolerance: Things keep working even if the network has issue and your distributed DB is partitioned. Google Spanner promises all three properties of the CAP Theorem. But how? True Time: An highly precise global clock. It timestamps every change, so data always has a clear version. Paxos Magic: Smart algorithms that keeps data copies in sync across continents and resolve the conflicts efficiently. Google's Network: Google has its own private, reliable global network that drastically reduces the chance of network partition. Does Spanner Really Beat CAP? Technically No, Google Spanner prioritizes consistency over availability in case of network failures. But, on the ground, those failures are very very unlikely for the users , Spanner feels as if it guarantees all three. Google Spanner is not just a database; it is combination of highly reliable network, special hardware and smart algorithms. Spanner proves the CAP Theorem is not unbreakable, with the right technology boundaries can be pushed further.

I recently discovered some fascinating techniques that Google uses to keep their systems running smoothly under massive loads of data and traffic. Here are a few key methods they use: 1. Load Balancing: They spread out the traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server gets overwhelmed. 2. Distributed Systems: They break down tasks into smaller parts that can be handled simultaneously, which really boosts performance. 3. Performance Monitoring: Google uses advanced monitoring tools to keep a close eye on system performance and quickly fix any issues that come up. 4. Caching: By using effective caching strategies, they store frequently accessed data in a way that reduces load times and speeds up response rates. 5. Sharding: They divide their databases into smaller, manageable pieces (shards) and spread them across multiple machines to balance the load. These practices help Google serve millions of users efficiently, maintaining a high level of performance and user satisfaction. – from “Software Engineering at Google” by Titus Winters, Tom Manshreck, and Hyrum Wright. #SoftwareEngineering #Scalability #Performance
