Yep. And on the kibana side, they support metrics now too. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.4/timelion.html

Seconded! In the current world where dashboards are coupled to alerts, it's very frustrating not to be able to define alerts on a templated dashboard. It's also frustrating that it's effectively impossible with the Cloudwatch

Github is already collecting limited client-side telemetry. Open the network tab in your developer tools and you'll see a request to collector.githubapp.com on every page load that includes details like your screen resolution.

I don't know the specifics of passwords, but Fenix definitely support sync. Open settings and the first menu item you'll see will be "turn on sync". (Disclosure: I work at Mozilla but not on Fenix)

For us, the experiment ( https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2018/10/03/upcoming-push-s... ) with mostly idle clients was very helpful, since it flushed out problems with out load balancing layer and in the

As I recall, when we hit the ELBs connection limits the failed connections were reflected in the SpilloverCount metric. I believe we only hit the security group limits in load testing. There, we could see connections fail to an instance whe

Not really, because there won't be logs for connections that were never established.

I can not. AWS, for whatever reason, does not want this publicly documented. I would write up what we learned in our testing in more detail, but I have been asked not to. You can find some discussion of this behavior in places like https:&

Going from a single processes holding all your data to having your data sharded across multiple processes can be more than a little effort. Also, it might now have any benefit for you. Imagine a certain key is particularly hot. Having one m

I've had similar experiences, where I'm told in the morning to be available to handle an account deactivation immediately at X time, and then at X time I'm given the name. What really sucks is when you have to do it for one o

That's simply not correct, at least in the US. The process I've seen is the employee is taken to a meeting room, they're told they've being let go, they're walked to their desk to retrieve their personal belongings,

I remember back in 2006, when multicore processors were rare and multisocket servers were expensive, how cool and powerful our OpenSSI cluster seemed to me as a junior sysadmin. Technology really went in a different direction, though, and w

Oh, ALBs. Now that's a mess. You'll either be charged per new connection, per concurrent connection, per byte, or per rule evaluation, depending on which is highest any given hour. https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloa

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I don't think that's a strong example. Charging for utilization is the most obvious way to price a service, and http requests are the most obvious way to track utilization of an API

It does plenty of good. I have software that spans AWS, Azure, and GCP (don't ask me why). I can easily manage it as a cohesive whole, e.g. using an ip address provisioned in GCP as the target of a DNS record provisioned in AWS. I can
