Automatically Detect the Top Performance & Scalability Issues in Distributed Architectures
Explore common performance and architectural issues in distributed applications through this 37-minute conference talk from SREcon20 Americas. Learn to identify patterns such as N+1 Call & Query, Payload Flood, Too Granular, Tight Coupling, Bad Timeouts/Retries/Backoff, and Inefficient Dependencies. Discover how to automatically detect these patterns in CI/CD pipelines using the CNCF project Keptn and its SLI/SLO-based Quality Gate approach. Gain insights from real-world examples, including a distributed trace from StepStone, and understand the importance of answering questions like "Who is depending on me?" and "What is the risk of change?" in distributed architectures. Delve into topics such as cascading N+1 query patterns, payload flood issues, and refactoring strategies. Learn about Keptn's declarative workflows and event-triggered actions, and see a demonstration of automated SLI/SLO validation based on Dynatrace Dashboards. Explore the concept of Keptn-Closed-Loop Remediation and discover how to automate distributed problem detection and remediation in your own systems. Read more
