Interaction Latency: Square's User-Centric Mobile Performance MetricScyllaDB
Mobile performance metrics often take inspiration from the backend world and measure resource usage (CPU usage, memory usage, etc) and workload durations (how long a piece of code takes to run).
However, mobile apps are used by humans and the app performance directly impacts their experience, so we should primarily track user-centric mobile performance metrics. Following the lead of tech giants, the mobile industry at large is now adopting the tracking of app launch time and smoothness (jank during motion).
At Square, our customers spend most of their time in the app long after it's launched, and they don't scroll much, so app launch time and smoothness aren't critical metrics. What should we track instead?
This talk will introduce you to Interaction Latency, a user-centric mobile performance metric inspired from the Web Vital metric Interaction to Next Paint"" (web.dev/inp). We'll go over why apps need to track this, how to properly implement its tracking (it's tricky!), how to aggregate this metric and what thresholds you should target.
Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Video traffic on the Internet is constantly growing; networked multimedia applications consume a predominant share of the available Internet bandwidth. A major technical breakthrough and enabler in multimedia systems research and of industrial networked multimedia services certainly was the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technique. This resulted in the standardization of MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) which, together with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), is widely used for multimedia delivery in today’s networks. Existing challenges in multimedia systems research deal with the trade-off between (i) the ever-increasing content complexity, (ii) various requirements with respect to time (most importantly, latency), and (iii) quality of experience (QoE). Optimizing towards one aspect usually negatively impacts at least one of the other two aspects if not both. This situation sets the stage for our research work in the ATHENA Christian Doppler (CD) Laboratory (Adaptive Streaming over HTTP and Emerging Networked Multimedia Services; https://athena.itec.aau.at/), jointly funded by public sources and industry. In this talk, we will present selected novel approaches and research results of the first year of the ATHENA CD Lab’s operation. We will highlight HAS-related research on (i) multimedia content provisioning (machine learning for video encoding); (ii) multimedia content delivery (support of edge processing and virtualized network functions for video networking); (iii) multimedia content consumption and end-to-end aspects (player-triggered segment retransmissions to improve video playout quality); and (iv) novel QoE investigations (adaptive point cloud streaming). We will also put the work into the context of international multimedia systems research.

For a planned cell tower maintenance, high wind and storm
conditions should be avoided when possible. Lightning must be
strictly avoided. Having the visibility into weather conditions in
advance enables safer, more efficient operations
Incorporating the weather forecast into appointment booking
helps avoid cancelations and/or reschedules thereby leading to
higher customer satisfaction as well as lower operational cost
Weather alerts and notifications enable Dispatchers to ensure
crew safety and optimally utilize resources based on real-time
field progress

With a combination of Maximo Asset Management (our core EAM solution), our scheduling and dispatching solutions (Scheduler and Scheduler Plus), and our mobile solution (Anywhere), we offer a comprehensive solution to our clients, enabling them to address their FWM requirements with a single system of record – Maximo.
So, everything from planning and scheduling of work, to booking customer appointments, to assigning and dispatching the technicians, and finally tracking the work progress in real-time can all be achieved with Maximo. This eliminates the need to go with a third party tool and worrying about all the challenges that come along with it.
Weather often forces a delay or reschedule of work be it because of snow, ice, high winds or what have you. Having weather data integrated into the FWM solution streamlines this process for our clients, while also letting them better manage appointments with their end clients as well as technician schedules for greater flexibility and efficiency. We are the only vendor in the market today offering this capability. Let’s look at some real use cases that our solution can address –
The Planner is responsible for equipment that is affected by weather, in this case a cell tower. In Maximo, he has set up a job plan effected by key weather parameters with no-go or alternate job plan that considers the weather conditions. For cell tower maintenance, high wind and storm conditions should be avoided when possible. Lightning must be strictly avoided. Scheduler Plus will search for work orders with this job plan and reschedule the work for no-go conditions. The new plan Joe publishes now includes critical information that can lead to safer, more efficient operations.
Embedding the weather forecast into the appointment booking application enables the customer service representative to incorporate that information when booking an appointment. For example, it will be best to avoid scheduling an appointment for tomorrow, for work to be done on an outdoor asset, if the forecast calls for a major snow storm. This helps avoid appointment cancelation or reschedules and leads to higher customer satisfaction as well as lower operational cost for our clients.
With real-time weather alerts, Dispatchers can re-route the technicians to work in a safe area and reschedule the original work to a day or time that is not impacted by adverse weather. Not only does this ensure that the crews are safe, it also helps utilize them more efficiently on other high priority work while also avoiding unnecessary fuel/travel and other operational cost.
