Some highlights: - Benchmarking existing implementation (Gatling, metrics, etc) - Pin-pointing bottlenecks (various layers in application backend, inefficient database queries, queries/requets executed repeatedly etc). - Working with tools like Prometheus and Grafana to make high- and low-level system metrics available. - Continuously working on improving horizontal scalability using tools like gRPC, Protobuf, Redis and in-memory caching with Caffeine. - Repeatedly documenting current performance, to know where we're going. - Working on a large customer deployment for DNA (a major telco in Finland) with a production environment consisting of >10 Linux-based servers (Envoy as Edge Gateway/HTTP load balancer, Varnish for in-memory caching of HTTP requests, MariaDB as database, Elasticsearch cluster, Redis cluster, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring). See the official case study here: https://www.hibox.tv/references/dna-tv.shtml Spending a large portion of my days reading and writing Java code. Sometimes also working to a significant degree with DevOps tools like: - Ansible: deploying Prometheus & Alertmanager, Grafana, nginx, Varnish and others - CI pipelines with Docker - OpenVPN server & client - GitLab Runner (including cloud-based autoscaling of CI capacity) Show less
