Stream Processing Inside Librato [Monitorama PDX 2015]

As modern software engineering tools and techniques continue to evolve, very few engineering teams have been able to meaningfully improve their operational visibility. In this talk Librato's Dave Josephsen makes that case that monitoring has always been a signal processing problem. He explains in practical terms what that means, and how viewing the problem in the context of signal processing necessitates a different sort of toolset. He then shares Librato's stream processing infrastructure, which is an implementation of a signal-processing telemetry system, and shows how our infrastructure solves many of the data persistence and signal transformation problems that engineering teams who use traditional operations-centric monitoring toolchain have struggled with for years.Read less
