 Tracing With OpenTelemetry and Jaeger Oct 21st 2024, 21:00, by Sriram Panyam, Praveen Gujar Tracing, a critical component, tracks requests through complex systems. This visibility reveals bottlenecks and errors, enabling faster resolutions. In a previous post of our Go web services series, we explored observability's significance. Today, we focus on tracing. Jaeger collects, stores, and visualizes traces from distributed systems. It provides crucial insights into request flows across services. By integrating Jaeger with OpenTelemetry, developers can unify their tracing approach, ensuring consistent and comprehensive visibility. This integration simplifies diagnosing performance issues and enhances system reliability. In this post, we'll set up Jaeger, integrate it with OpenTelemetry in our application, and explore visualizing traces for deeper insights. Motivation What we are working towards is a Jaeger dashboard that looks like this: |  Serverless NLP: Implementing Sentiment Analysis Using Serverless Technologies Oct 21st 2024, 20:00, by Vamsi Kavuri In this article, I will discuss building a sentiment analysis tool using AWS serverless capabilities and NLTK. I will be using AWS lambda to run sentiment analysis using the NLTK-vader library and AWS API Gateway to enable this functionality as an API. This architecture eliminates the need for any server management while providing on-demand scalability and cost-efficiency. Before we dive in, ensure that you have the following: |  Ditch the Unfinished Action Items Oct 21st 2024, 19:00, by Stefan Wolpers TL; DR: Unfinished Action Items: How to Make Retrospectives Useful If your team consistently creates action items during Retrospectives but rarely completes them, you're not alone. Unfinished action items are a major productivity killer and lead to stalled progress. This article highlights five actionable practices to ensure Retrospective tasks get done, including limiting action items in progress, assigning clear ownership, and adding a reviewing progress in every Retrospective. The key to real improvement isn't in creating long lists — it's in following through. By treating Retrospective action items with the same importance as other Sprint tasks, your team can finally break the cycle of unfinished improvements and see real, beneficial change, individually and at the team level. |  How to Implement Client-Side Load Balancing With Spring Cloud Oct 21st 2024, 18:00, by Mario Casari It is common for microservice systems to run more than one instance of each service. This is needed to enforce resiliency. It is therefore important to distribute the load between those instances. The component that does this is the load balancer. Spring provides a Spring Cloud Load Balancer library. In this article, you will learn how to use it to implement client-side load balancing in a Spring Boot project. Client and Server Side Load Balancing We talk about client-side load balancing when one microservice calls another service deployed with multiple instances and distributes the load on those instances without relying on external servers to do the job. Conversely, in the server-side mode, the balancing feature is delegated to a separate server, that dispatches the incoming requests. In this article, we will discuss an example based on the client-side scenario. |  Automate Private Azure Databricks Unity Catalog Creation Oct 21st 2024, 17:00, by Soumya Barman Disclaimer: All the views and opinions expressed in the blog belong solely to the author and not necessarily to the author's employer or any other group or individual.

Databricks is a powerful platform that helps people work with large amounts of data easily. It allows companies to store, process, and analyze their data in one place. |  PostgreSQL 17: A Major Step Forward in Performance, Logical Replication, and More Oct 21st 2024, 16:00, by Ahsan Hadi After a successful 3rd beta in August 2024, the PostgreSQL development group released the GA version on September 26th. Recently, I blogged about some of the key logical replication features that you'll see in PostgreSQL 17. In this blog, I'll describe a couple of new performance features that you'll find in Postgres 17 as well as another important logical replication feature that I didn't cover in my earlier blog of this series. PostgreSQL has grown remarkably over the years, and with each major release, it has become a more robust, reliable, and responsive database for both mission-critical and non-mission-critical enterprise applications. The global and vibrant PostgreSQL community is contributing to PostgreSQL's success, diligently ensuring that all changes are carefully scrutinized and reviewed before they are added to the project source code. It is also very encouraging to see big technology names like Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others investing in Postgres by developing in-house expertise and giving back to the open-source community. |  Tech Trends 2024: Highlights on the Current Tech Industry From a Developer Oct 21st 2024, 15:00, by Jennifer Reif I have attended several events this year, and I'm constantly keeping my ear to the ground for the latest topics and trends in technology. As a developer focused mostly on data and database industries, I feel that this year has seen a massive expansion of data and efficiency use cases and interest. In this post, I'll highlight some of the trends I've seen throughout 2024, especially in the data, graph, and analytics technology spaces. Whether you are simply curious about what is happening in technology industries or looking to put together interesting topics for papers or presentations, this post will include the greatest hits. | |
