Presentation: Design and Implementation of a Real-Time Cloud Analytics Platform Presentation [PDF]
Average rating: ***..

We present the architecture and implementation of a Node.js/DTrace-based distributed platform for analyzing the performance of cloud applications in real-time. We will give an overview of the system’s architecture, paying specific attention to the design tradeoffs that allow it to operate in real-time and on a production cloud. We will then discuss the novel data visualizations used by the system to convey understanding of complex distributed systems behavior. Finally, we will demonstrate the system on a real, internet-facing cloud and cover some of the interesting performance pathologies that this system has helped understand.
