In the context of parallel computing, Load Balancing is the distribution of a set of tasks over different computing units (or related resources), to make the overall process easier to execute and much more efficient. Ensuring no single server bears too much of demand and evenly spreading the load, it improves the responsiveness and availability of applications or websites for the user.

Observabilidade: Será que você está fazendo do jeito certo?Janssen Lima
Por muitos anos as equipes de TI mediam a disponibilidade e performance de suas aplicações através da coleta de métricas e procuravam por problemas lendo logs. No atual cenário que vivemos, com sistemas complexos e distribuídos em microsserviços, o monitoramento não é mais a técnica ideal para entender e resolver problemas. Os sistemas modernos introduziram complexidade adicional, fazendo com que as falhas sejam mais difíceis de prever, detectar e solucionar. Porém, o monitoramento ainda é confundido com observabilidade. A observabilidade precisa ser entendida no aspecto técnico e cultural pelas equipes que desejam adotá-la da maneira certa para entender como seus sistemas estão funcionando.

Everything You wanted to Know About Distributed TracingAmuhinda Hungai
In the age of microservices, understanding how applications are executing in a highly distributed environment can be complicated. Looking at log files only gives a snapshot of the whole story and looking at a single service in isolation simply does not give enough information. Each service is just one side of a bigger story. Distributed tracing has emerged as an invaluable technique that succeeds in summarizing all sides of the story into a shared timeline. Yet deploying it can be quite challenging, especially in the large scale, polyglot environments of modern companies that mix together many different technologies. During this session, we will take a look at patterns and means to implement Tracing for services. After introducing the basic concepts we will cover how the tracing model works, and how to safely use it in production to troubleshoot and diagnose issues.

Выявление и локализация проблем в сети с помощью инструментов RiverbedElena Marianenko
В условиях непрерывного роста сложности сетевой инфраструктуры и приложений, ИТ крайне необходим комплексный подход к мониторингу. С другой стороны, принимая во внимание, что больше половины рабочего времени ИТ тратит на расследование обращений конечных пользователей, важность именно проактивного мониторинга неоспорима. Но что делать, когда все выглядит хорошо, но пользователь продолжает жаловаться на плохую работу сети и приложений?
Доклад посвящен не только платформе проактивного мониторинга компании Riverbed — лидера на рынке мониторинга производительности сети и приложений — но также и решениям для устранения «узких мест» в сетевой инфраструктуре.
Jan Lindblad's presentation at Layer123 SDN and OpenFlow World Congress in Bad Homburg, Germany. Focusing on a multi-vendor SDN deployment at a Tier 1 Service Provider in Asia.

ENSURING FAST AND SECURE GAMING APPLICATION DOWNLOADS GLOBALLYCDNetworks
Gamers are vocal about their displeasure when games are slow to download. Worse yet, if a game is unavailable due to too much traffic or a DDoS attack, gamers are, rightly so, incensed. And, if you have customers in China, Japan, Korea or Russia, performance can suffer due to distance induced latency. Find out how to protect your applications while ensuring fast downloads with dynamic web acceleration and DDoS mitigation. A dynamic content acceleration network not only ensures fast application downloads, but also accommodates peaks in traffic during a game launch. DDoS mitigation offloads attacks to special sponge PoPs, so your customers are not affected.
Takeaway
In this session you will learn how to speed up and secure your gaming application throughout the world, including in China, Japan, Korea and Russia. Your gamers will thank you.
Master Class : TCP/IP Mechanics from Scratch to ExpertAbhishek Sagar
This is Master Class course on TCP/IP protocol - Transmission Control Protocol. Since it is Master Class course, this course discusses the internal design and functioning of complex transport layer protocol - TCP.
Almost all traffic on internet today is transported by TCP protocol. TCP, as where it stands today, mature and solid, is the result of over 25 yrs of research by network gurus. TCP is complicated and difficult to understand, therefore i have paid utmost attention to present the concept in most simplest way as possible without any loss of information.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
