Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!

10. What is climate change? Climate is the average weather conditions of a place or area (or the whole globe) over a period of years ‘Climate change’ is a long term change in the average weather
11. Our climate has always been variable. Glacial periods and warmer periods have occurred throughout Earth’s history. This variability is natural and is caused by many things
12. HOWEVER… Global temperature change (between glacial and interglacial periods) occurs normally at a rate of 0.05 – 0.005°C every 100yrs. In the last 50yrs the global average temperature has increased by 0.5 degrees! This is between 20 and 200 times the normal rate, and it’s accelerating!
13. We know the Earth is warming up quickly (figure 3)
14. Why is the Earth heating up? The Greenhouse Effect There are many greenhouse gases Carbon dioxide (CO2) – most abundant Methane Nitrous oxide CFCs Ozone The gases in the atmosphere that trap heat in the earth’s surface are called greenhouse gases and they occur naturally in our atmosphere, in small amounts. Figure from “The Wonders of the Weather” by Bob Crowder
15. Some greenhouse gases are good – they allow our planet to be warm enough to support life.
20. That’s around the time when humans became dependent on coal and oil for transportation and energy.
21. The Carbon cycle Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere that has been stored for millennia (and otherwise would stay stored there)
22. There is no debate that burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into our atmosphere – or that we have burned a lot of fossil fuels since the industrial revolution.
23. 550ppm? More? Where we’ll be mid-century if we keep this up TODAY: 390ppm + Parts per Million CO2 EARLY 1900S CO2 in PPM LAST ICE AGE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE Years ago Throughout our history, global temperature has followed greenhouse gas concentrations
24. To recap: Humans are causing climate change. By burning more and more fossil fuels for our energy needs, it is very clear that: Humans have raised and continue to raise the concentration of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere When greenhouse gas concentrations rise, global temperature rises. We are observing that very rise in temperature to match the rise in greenhouse gases.
25. 3 How sure are we of the science? Really, really sure on the general gist, but a little less sure on the specifics
26. The largest research project in history: In 1988, the IPCC was created to “provide the decision-makers and others interested in climate change with an objective source of information about climate change”
28. “Some scientific conclusions or theories have been so thoroughly examined and tested, and supported by so many independent observations and results, that their likelihood of subsequently being found to be wrong is vanishingly small. Such conclusions and theories are then regarded as settled facts. This is the case for the conclusions that the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities.” The US National Academy of Sciences, 2010
29. Number of scientific studies dealing with “climate change” published in scientific journals between 1993 and 2003: Number disagreeing with the global consensus that greenhouse gas pollution has caused most of the warming of the last 50 years: And anyone who tries to tell you differently needs to take a closer look Science, December 3, 2004 Vol. 306, Issue 5702,1686
30. There is uncertainty about just how our climate will change in the future That’s because our earth is such a big and complex system But in general, scientists’ predictions have tended to be conservative compared to observed impacts so far UNCERTAINTY
31. EXAMPLE: MELTING OF THE ARCTIC New predictions Satellite observations Mean IPCC prediction Most likely change (melt) IPCC range Actual observed melting % change in ice cover it has melted nearly80 YEARSahead of when scientists predicted YEAR
32. Much of the uncertainty is due to “feedback loops”, when climate impacts reinforce and amplify each other, which can be hard to model Example: The Albedo feedback loop Earth gets warmer, causing arctic ocean to warm White sea ice melts, exposing dark ocean underneath Dark ocean reflects less sunlight, absorbs more energy
34. Once emitted, greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere and trap heat for decades. That’s why its essential to cut emissions now. It will be difficult to stabilize our climate, but it’s not impossible.
35. Thankfully, we know where we need to aim: “If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and towhich life on Earth is adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 387ppm to at most 350ppm.” - NASA climatologist Dr. James E. Hansen, 2008
36. The 350ppm target means that at our current level – 392ppm, we are already in the danger zone. The Earth and the species that live on it have never gone through a change in climate such as the one we are now facing. But it’s not too late – if we act now!
37. Up Next: Find out how climate change is already impacting our planet. Intro Climate science (or, climate change is real) Climate impacts (or, climate change is happening now) Climate solutions (or, we know that solutions exist) Climate politics (or, so why aren’t we doing anything about it?)

Note: link to 350 FAQ on ppm & ppm-equivalent (http://www.350.org/understanding-350#14); include a note in the script about the difference.Ppm or parts per million of carbon dioxide is the ratio of the number of carbon dioxide molecules to all of the molecules in the atmosphere.Ppm-e or parts per million of CO2 equivalent is the ratio of other greenhouse gas molecules, such as methane, to all of the molecules in the atmosphereDegrees Celsius in relation to climate change is the universal measurement of temperature increase on the centigrade scale, with 0 being the freezing point of water and 100 being the boiling point of water.
For millions of years, huge amounts of carbon, methane, and other contributors to the greenhouse effect have been locked up inside ofplants, fossil fuels like oil and coal that are made of dead animals and plants, and in frozen pockets underneath the arctic tundra giving the earth a relatively stable climate, to which all current life on earth has adapted
But since the Industrial Revolution, humans have been releasing these greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising huge numbers of greenhouse-gas-producing animals. These gases are entering the atmosphere at rates completely unprecedented in the history of the world, trapping heat and warming the planet at abnormally fast rates.

National Earth Science Teacher’s Association: http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/Water/co2_cycle.htmlCarbon is constantly cycling through our planet. It gets “fixed” into plants and our soil and oceans through photosynthesis and other natural processes, and then released as plants and organisms decompose. By burning fossil fuels, we add large amounts of carbon to our atmosphere that would otherwise stay stored beneath the ground, therefore changing the balance of the carbon cycle taking place above ground.
350 original slideThroughout time, global temperature has correlated with the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere, so now, as CO2 levels rise to unprecedented levels, so is global temperature.
At least 2,000 scientists around the globe study the current changes in climate and its environmental and socioeconomic effects. (IPCC Website). These updates are critical to our understanding of what is occurring on this planet.
Source: National Academy of Sciences, http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12782&page=22-The scientific consensus is nearly absolute that human activity is causing climate change. (Read quote).
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/306/5702/1686.full. For the script, include this info: ““928 abstracts, published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and listed in the ISI database with the keywords ‘climate change.’ The 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position. ““Borrowed the slide design from Audobon Society’s “Global_Warming_presentation_long.ppt”
“Our Fragile Earth”-There is still an uncertainty as to every aspect of how human activity will result in climate change and its effects. This is primarily due to the idea of feedback loops which can be hard to model if all parts of the loop are not included. One example of a climate change feedback loop is the Albedo feedback loop. “Albedo” is a measure of the amount of light a surface reflects vs. absorbs. -1/3 of the suns rays hitting earth are reflected back into space. Ice, particularly at the poles, is responsible for a lot of that reflectivity. Ice reflects back 90% of the light hitting it. On the other hand, water is a very poor reflector and only reflects back 5-10% of the light hitting it. So if the ice melts, the temperature will increase because their will be less reflectivity. This will also mean that the soil under the ice is exposed, allowing it to release trapped methane. Soil is also a poor reflector of light and absorbs more of the energy. These two soil implications will mean an even greater increase in temperature.
From Climate Interactive, www.climateinteractive.org - “Climate momentum simulator”Once we release a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, it stays there for x years, heating up the planet the whole timeWhich means that even if we stopped emitting all greenhouse gases NOW, the gases already emitted will remain in the atmosphere and continue to heat the planet for many years to come.
-To really understand the impacts of a few degrees of climate change on human beings and the planet, see our “Impacts” module-But just remember – while climate has been variable throughout history, the Earth and the species that live on it have never gone through a change in climate as sudden and large as the one we are now facing
