The first Channel 4 website issues reported on Down Detector came in at 7:32pm and issues continued throughout the night.

The traditional embedded Linux development model ties applications to the OS. Such a constraint means apps have to target a specific release, which lowers development velocity. Furthermore, broken upgrades in one part of the device may affect refreshes in the rest of the OS. On the other hand, embedded developers are increasingly looking at open-source software to enable rapid app-centric software deployment and global collaboration.

If you’re wondering if that classic car you’ve been scoping out on Bring a Trailer or eBay Motors is as authentic as posited by the seller – specifically re: the common claims of “original paint” or “high quality respray” – you’re going to want to take a closer look around the edges.

Speedscale creates load tests from recorded traffic so generating load is pretty core to what we do. As a brief overview, we record traffic from your service in one environment and replay it in another, optionally increasing load several fold. During a replay the Speedscale load generator makes requests against the system under test (SUT), with the responses from external dependencies like APIs or a payment processor optionally mocked out for consistency. Your service is the SUT here.

But the shift to more advanced IT technologies and practices is driving the need for more than monitoring – and so observability evolved. With infrastructures and applications that span multiple dynamic, distributed and modular IT environments, organizations need a deeper, more precise understanding of everything that happens within these systems.
