The unexciting ground work for Request Metrics continues. We've got a basic ASP.NET Core project up and committed to Github. Now we need to build it! We have used TeamCity to build TrackJS for years. Since we don’t like change, we’re using it for Request Metrics too.

In the previous video, we created a build for our new project. Now we are configuring access to the development server using SSH keys. Follow along as we create a new SSH key pair using Git Bash. We'll use PuTTY and the new key to SSH to our Linux server from a Windows machine. Generating a new SSH key is not too difficult, but there are a few gotchas when using Windows. We are going through this exercise because Eric and Jordan develop on Windows. Todd watches in amusement as his MacOS machine "just works".

Now that we have a SSH key, we can configure the server to host our ASP.NET Core application. We use Ansible for this because of its relative simplicity vs many of the other available tools. Some extra steps are needed however when running Ansible running in WSL.

HEAL Software Inc. is the provider of game-changing innovation HEAL, the first preventive healing software for IT operations that fixes problems before they happen. Contrary to APM and monitoring tools that send alerts or find the problem sources when an incident occurs, HEAL can recognize "signals" that are leading indicators of future incidents and eliminate factors that can create problems.

MEDHOST is a trusted provider of electronic health records (EHR) for Healthcare Facilities, and infrastructure performance is critical to their business. When they needed an infrastructure monitoring solution that could provide a complete view of their entire environment, MEDHOST turned to Galileo. In this video, see how Galileo has helped them optimize infrastructure performance and readiness, as well as increase their customer satisfaction.

This presentation will describe the challenges, benefits and overwhelming success of deploying a PoP network using HAProxy. You will learn how Stadia Maps uses HAProxy to increase and track performance, ensure reliability and uptime, and enforce authentication and authorization for our mapping services. Specific topics covered will be replacing active authentication with ACLs, using HAProxy’s syslog output to track usage and enforce quotas, using SRV records to route (and reroute) traffic, and the challenges encountered running an IP failover-based setup at scale.

First we'll analyse the complete cause of Windows 10 migration. This will include Windows 7 End-Of-Life and the steps to migrate your OS to Windows 10. Then, the aftereffects of Windows 10 migration and post-deployment issues will be discussed.

Andre Foken, CTO and Olaf van Zandwijk, Security Officer of Nedap Healthcare discuss how they’ve used Datadog to maintain high uptime across their environment—even as it scaled from a single application to multiple interdependent applications.

Syd Ryan describes two hard problems they've solved at Sentry with streaming Beam pipelines. The first solution combines Postgres change data capture and SQL views to produce a table that appears to be updating in real time within BigQuery. The second solution is aggregating 1000s of events per second and backfilling historical data effectively with Beam's unified batch/streaming interfaces.

Mike describes gotchas and early struggles Sentry hit moving streaming data pipelines off our laptops and into production. He covers some unexpected Beam defaults, detecting schema errors, compare performance between the python & java SDK, and proactively identifying when production pipelines break due to unexpected data.
