How DoorDash Migrated from StatsD to Prometheus

DoorDash Engineering

AUGUST 1, 2023

Challenges Faced With StatsD StatsD was a great asset for our early observability needs, but we began encountering constraints such as losing metrics during surge events, difficulties with naming/standardized tags, and a lack of reporting tools. We’ll briefly introduce StatD’s history before diving into those specific issues.

OCTOBER 19, 2020

Distributed Tracing: the missing context in troubleshooting services at scale Prior to Edgar, our engineers had to sift through a mountain of metadata and logs pulled from various Netflix microservices in order to understand a specific streaming failure experienced by any of our members. Trace Instrumentation: how will it impact our service?

Scalable Annotation Service?—?Marken

Netflix Tech

JANUARY 25, 2023

Our team, Asset Management Platform, decided to create a generic service called Marken which allows any microservice at Netflix to annotate their entity. Annotations Sometimes people describe annotations as tags but that is a limited definition. An annotation must be associated with some entity which belongs to some microservice.

You would never see a microservice named after a person in software engineering, but it’s a very, very common practice for each engineer to have their own schema in the warehouse. Tagging tables that are covered by data SLAs as part of a data certification process is a great solution to avoid the “you’re using that table?!”
