sectionCantrill: Visualizing Distributed Systems with Statemaps [d115a670]

Part of talks
  • don't be guessing!
  • don't do control theory observability -> very different

  • use aggregation for performance debugging

    • instrumentation systems go fluidly between aggregation and disaggregation
  • software is unobservable, visualization is effectively an abstraction
  • flamegraphs help understand what the system is doing, but how do you visualize what the state changes are?
