Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

Netflix Tech

By Benoit Rostykus, Gabriel Hartmann Noisy Neighbors We’ve all had noisy neighbors at one point in our life. Whether it’s at a cafe or through a wall of an apartment, it is always disruptive. The need for good manners in shared spaces turns out to be important not just for people, but for your Docker containers too. When you’re running in the cloud your containers are in a shared space; in particular they share the CPU’s memory hierarchy of the host instance.

Should you have an ETL window in your Modern Data Warehouse?

Advancing Analytics: Data Engineering

Ah the ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) Window, the schedule by which the Business Intelligence developer sets their clock, the nail-biting nightly period during which the on-call support hopes their phone won’t ring. It’s a cornerstone of the data warehousing approach… and we shouldn’t have one. There, I said it. Hear me out – back in the on-premises days we had data loading processes that connect directly to our source system databases and perform huge data extract queries as the start of one long

Unlock the Value of Data Faster Through Modern Data Warehousing

Advancing Analytics: Data Engineering

Data has value – I think we’ve finally got to the point where most people agree on this. The problem we face is how long it takes to unlock that value, and it’s a frustration that most businesses I speak to are having. Let’s think about why this is. After the horror that was the “data silo” days, with clumps of data living in Access databases, Excel spreadsheets and isolated data stores, we’ve had a pretty good run with the classic Kimball data warehouse.

Streaming Data from the Universe with Apache Kafka
