Yeah, I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous clickbait written by hipster sysengs using fringe architectures to generalize about a gigantic range of complex systems and saying "all you need to do is sample some logs, guys, why are you still using dashboards".
You know what solves ops issues? System visibility connected to automation designed to diagnose root causes and provide simple solutions to common problems. Serverless adds extra complexity and points of failure, but that doesn't mean "you can't debug distributed systems with dashboards". Give me a break.
- fhood 8y agoI clicked on that link ready to experience a revelation that was going to change how I debugged infrastructure problems. I came away with nothing. I got nothing out of this article. I have re-read it twice now hoping that I was missing something, or had failed to understand some point.
- peterwwillis 8y agoThe only point was that distributed tracing apparently solves all problems.
- dsfyu404ed 8y ago>System visibility connected to automation designed to diagnose root causes and provide simple solutions to common problems. This. At the end of the say you gotta put the right stack trace in front of the right eyeballs so someone can connect the dots and figure out why your crap is burning down. Automation helps people who are not intimately familiar with every aspect of each system do that.
