It’s 2021. And despite everything that’s been said and written about and tweeted and argued and debated (I’m as guilty as anyone here myself) and despite us having better tooling now than ever before, observability of complex systems is still pretty hard, yo. Happy Friday.

Opserver on .NET Core is about ready to merge into mainline (just been very lazy about it). And @deanward81 got the dashboard going again after our Bosun -> SignalFX migration. It's even more fun to look at after the .NET Core move:

Another example of sheer lunacy that will negatively impact our country’s future
Becoming the preeminent locus of agglomeration for the world's plucky up-and-comers has been one of the US's greatest achievements and most potent advantages.

Requests are salmon. They swim upstream, do their thing, and the result comes back downstream. Or they get eaten by bears, which I think might make a better error message than "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers". Just an idea @EnvoyProxy

We replaced our monolith with micro services so that every outage could be more like a murder mystery.

Pretty damn cool to be airing a Super Bowl commercial this year.
Watching, snacking, celebrating — no matter what you’ll be doing during the big game this Sunday, we’ll be right there with you. Get a glimpse into how we’re bringing #DataToEverything on game day (and, you know, every other day of the year): splk.it/2S5FqPL #SBLIV

Charlie Munger is 96 today. Awesomely fitting that his bday is Jan. 1 — “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.”

If you don't understand how big AWS in Cloud, consider this metric: AWS makes more money on re:Invent registration fees this year than Oracle+IBM cloud revenues.

Team design is hard and sometimes you have to choose between a team owning tech systems vs a team owning business problems. My experience is pick the latter 99% of the time. Sacrifices a bit of synergies but makes you move much faster.
