Tanzu Observability by Wavefront Spring Boot Starter

Engineering | Stéphane Nicoll | May 07, 2020 | ...

Spring Boot has a great observability story. With the Actuator, we auto-configure Micrometer, an application metrics facade that supports numerous monitoring systems. With a few properties, you can start emitting a wide range of metrics out-of-the-box to your favorite monitoring system. And if you need to use distributed tracing, Spring Cloud Sleuth gets you covered.

Tanzu Observability for Wavefront (formerly Wavefront) delivers scalable observability as a service where Spring developers can build analytics-driven dashboards based on multi-sourced data including metrics, traces, histograms…

Spring Tips: Season 7 Recap

Engineering | Josh Long | May 06, 2020 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to the recap installment for the seventh season of Spring Tips! I can't believe we're already on season seven! In October of 2020, it'll be 4 straight years of doing these videos. Hopefully, they're helping.

But, for now, I'm done for a little while - not as long as last time, for sure! But a little while. I need time to gather my resources, prepare new content, finish the Reactive Spring book, and…

Engineering | Dave Syer | May 04, 2020 | ...

Here's the latest graph of memory versus billing for Spring Cloud Function on AWS Lambda.

aws-billing-3.x

In both cases the functionality is identical (a simple POJO-POJO function), and they both show only the results for cold start. Warm starts, where the function was already active when the request came in, were much faster and cheaper (except for the smallest memory setting they all cost the same…
