The underused suite of Linux dynamic tracing tools can be used to analyze and understand system bottlenecks regardless of what technologies the systems were developed in. This is critical in modern environments that often include an overwhelming variety of workloads, where services are written in various stacks and composed together. In this session we will:

  • Investigate a common performance problem that might occur with a service and analyze it using a standard tracing tool
  • Examine other common performance problems that might plague production services and map to appropriate tracing tools for observing the relevant behaviors
  • Dive beneath the surface to see why Linux’s dynamic tracing has minimal performance overhead and operational risk
