How Network I/O Delays Suffocate Your Containers

By Jorg Mertin
How Network I/O Delays Suffocate Your Containers in the world of microservices and Kubernetes, containers promise agility, scalability, and efficiency. We package our applications, deploy them, and expect lightning-fast performance. But often, there's a silent killer lurking beneath the surface, especially when our applications start to scale: network-induced I/O delays. It's easy to assume I/O is all about disk reads and writes. However, in a distributed container environment, a significant portion of "I/O" is actually network-bound. Every time your application needs to talk to another microservice, a database, or a persistent storage volume like ...

By Anand Rajanala
For DX Operational Observability (DX O2), the catalyst for the Custom Attributes capability emerged from a requirement articulated by a prominent European bank.
