It's little surprising that the author was doing perf work and not already comparing distributions. As the rest of the article outlines, you learn a lot more with more data!
It's complicated, but really worth learning how prometheus and grafana heatmaps combine if you want dashboards for real time service data. Multimodal distributions are basically the expected outcome given all the caching done in distributed systems.
- hyperpape 2mo agoThe median developer doing performance work has no background in the subject, they just have a complaint from someone that something is slow, and no real idea how to solve that problem. By that standard, this guy is doing quite well. It's a good post.
- jldugger 2mo agoTrue, I guess I just presume someone blogging about it has more than average insights on the subject, and the bar further raised by posting to HN. They do get to somewhere interesting by the end, I just had to scroll past a lot of basics.
