Diffy : Automatic Testing of Microservices @ TwitterPuneet Khanduri
Agile development has become a norm nowadays. Though it fosters faster product development cycles, it often results in a higher number of functional and/or performance regressions. In an SOA setting such as Twitter, such regressions may cascade from one service to one or more services. Detecting such regressions manually is not practically feasible in light of the hundreds of services and tens of thousands of metrics each service collects. To this end, we developed a novel tool called Diffy to automatically detect such regressions.
The key highlights of the talk are the following:
A simple yet effective approach for detecting functional regressions. False positives are minimized via statistical analysis of metrics obtained from a tuple <primary,> of nodes, where the same traffic is sent to each node.
An ensemble approach to performance regression. The need for an ensemble of classifiers stemmed from the multifaceted characteristics of the performance data. In order to minimize the impact of variability of hardware performance across nodes, we used two clusters – instead of a tuple of nodes – corresponding to the release candidate and production code. The approach is robust against the presence of anomalies in the performance data.
The proposed techniques work well with minute data. Diffy has been in use in production by multiple services at Twitter, and has been baked into the continuous build process so as to actively detect functional and/or performance regressions.
We shall take the audience through how the techniques are being used at Twitter with REAL data.

This document provides an overview of key concepts for the PMI-ACP certification, including:
- Agile emphasizes face-to-face communication and provides tools like daily stand-ups and retrospectives to avoid mismatched expectations.
- Feedback techniques in Agile include prototypes, simulations, demonstrations, and evaluations.
- Incremental delivery allows for partial products to be deployed after iterations for early feedback and ROI.
- Agile promotes knowledge sharing through practices like daily stand-ups, pair programming, and retrospectives.
- Problems in Agile are examined at the process, quality, and team dynamics levels using techniques such as establishing a devil's advocate and probing questions.
- An Agile leader communicates
This document discusses financial analysis techniques for project prioritization. It covers concepts like net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on investment (ROI), payback period, and time value of money. Formulas are provided for calculating future value, present value, NPV, and IRR. Examples are included to demonstrate how to use these techniques to evaluate and select between projects. The key message is that projects with higher NPV, IRR and ROI but lower payback period should be prioritized.
