Distributed debugging

Distributed systems can make it difficult to debug problems, and you need to plan for this in advance by integrating technology that can help with visibility. You should know what metrics you want to measure and what parameters are important to record.

As you run a web application, it isn't a case of deploy and forget, as it might be with mobile apps or desktop software. You will need to keep a constant automated eye on your application to ensure that it is always available. If you monitor the correct performance metrics, then you can get early warning signs of problems and can take preventative action. If you only measure the uptime or responsiveness, then the first that you may know of a problem is an outage notification, probably at an unsociable hour.

You may outsource your infrastructure to a cloud-hosting company so that you don't have to worry about hardware or platform failures. However, this doesn't completely absolve you of responsibility, and your software...

Singleton

James Singleton is a British software developer, engineer, and entrepreneur, who has been writing code since the days of the BBC Micro. His formal training is in electrical and electronic engineering, yet he has worked professionally in .NET software development for nearly a decade. He is active in the London start-up community and helps organize Cleanweb London events for environmentally conscious technologists. He runs Cleanweb Jobs, which aims to help get developers, engineers, managers, and data scientists into roles that can help tackle climate change and other environmental problems. He also does public speaking and has presented talks at many local user groups, including at the Hacker News London meet up. James holds a first class degree (with honors) in electronic engineering with computing, and has designed and built his own basic microprocessor on an FPGA, along with a custom instruction set to run on it. James contributes to, and is influenced by, many open source projects, and he regularly uses alternative technologies such as Python, Ruby, and Linux. He is enthusiastic about the direction that Microsoft is taking with .NET, and their embracing of open source practices. He is particularly interested in hardware, environmental, and digital rights projects, and is keen on security, compression, and algorithms. When not hacking on code, or writing for books and magazines, he enjoys walking, skiing, rock climbing, traveling, brewing, and craft beer. James has gained varied skills by working in many diverse industries and roles, from high performance stock exchanges to video encoding systems. He has worked as a business analyst, consultant, tester, developer, and technical architect. He has a wide range of knowledge, gained from big corporates to start-ups, and lots of places in between. He has first-hand experience of the best, and the worst, ways of building high-performance software.
