Observability Done Right: Best Practices and Anti-Patterns for Effective System Monitoring

-
Image
  WHAT Observability is a concept that refers to the ability to gain insights into the behavior and performance of complex systems. In the context of software engineering, observability involves the collection, analysis, and visualization of data from software applications, infrastructure, and other components of a system. In the animal kingdom, observability plays a critical role in survival, allowing animals to monitor their surroundings, detect threats, and find food. Dolphins use echolocation to observe their surroundings. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects, allowing them to create a 3D map of their environment.

Java Threading – Executor Framework and Callable Interface

-
Concurrency is the ability to run several parts of a program or several programs in parallel. If time consuming tasks can be performed asynchronously or in parallel, this improve the throughput and the interactivity of your program. Executors framework (java.util.concurrent.Executor), released with the JDK 5 in package java.util.concurrent is used to run the Runnable objects without creating new threads every time and mostly re-using the already created threads. Thread pools manage a pool of worker threads. The thread pools contains a work queue which holds tasks waiting to get executed. A thread pool can be described as a collection of  Runnable  objects (work queue) and a connections of running threads. These threads are constantly running and are checking the work query for new work. If there is new work to be done they execute this Runnable. The Thread class itself provides a method, e.g. execute(Runnable r) to add a new  Runnable  object to the work queue. The Executor framework p...
