How to choose between APM and an end-to-end monitoring tool

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 There was a time when APM was all anyone needed. Older monolithic web services were monitored with application performance monitoring (APM) tools. These tools provide detailed insights into how the web service performs and can alert administrators to potential issues before they become widespread. So APM brought us out of the era of having your users be the first people who noticed a serious problem. Instead, our monitoring tools could tell us trouble was brewing beforehand.

APM tools give insights into key performance indicators such as response time, request volume, error rates, resource utilization, and more. This data can be used to identify problems in code execution, detect memory leaks, or any other issue that may be affecting the web service's performance.

And many teams are still using traditional application monitoring and are very satisfied with the results!

But here are some questions to ask about tools like Scout APM:

1. Are we committed to open standards?

By using open standards, operations engineers can save time and resources by avoiding the need to develop complex proprietary workarounds or bespoke protocols for their systems. Furthermore, open standards provide a well-defined framework within which engineering teams can collaborate on developing better operational processes and systems across multiple organizations or departments within one organization. Standard APM tools transmit data in their own protocols, and the more you have to learn about them the more you're gaining specialized vendor experience rather than open standards. This leads us to the second concern:

2. Are we locked into one vendor?

The recent incident involving DataDog's attempt to quash an OpenTelemetry commit brought up a significant concern about APM vendors. When these vendors claim to 'embrace' open standards, are they really saying we'll consume whatever data you want to send us, you just can't take your data anywhere else.'

These policies remind us a bit of the bad old days of SaaS where removing your data from a CRM or office tool was nearly impossible. How have APM companies gotten away with this for so long? Probably because portability, in this case, isn't really about portability of historical data. Think about it: when migrating monitoring to another service it probably doesn't matter if you bring with you performance data from 2017.

So lock in, in this case, isn't so much about your data being held hostage, and more about the sometimes extreme difficulty of moving to different services.

If you're using an APM tool you really have to agree that you're going to stick with a single tool for a very long time, maybe for years.

3. How monolithic is our architecture?

While APM works well in a monolithic environment, and fine if you have 12 or so different services running, once you go much beyond that you're going to struggle. See 'Your Architecture defines your destiny' later in this piece

4. How much flexibility and customization do you need?

One of the original selling points of APM was a great 'out of the box' experience. When installing Scout APM on a Rails application, you get a great map of your tool within a few hours. But with any APM tool that 'out of the box' experience can start to feel like you're 'boxed in.'

After all, monitoring can do a lot more than finding performance problems. Maybe you'd like to do some security scanning, compliance checks, or gather business intelligence. With a closed source APM tool you'll largely be limited to the uses that the creators of the tool predicted.

With Open Telemetry, most especially with the use of the OpenTelemetry Collector, you can send, format, and view data from your services, no matter what your use case.

Your Architecture defines your destiny

Selecting TelemetryHub (and the underlying OpenTelemetry project that TelemetryHub is built for) is a lot easier if you have a large number of microservices. How many is a large number? By the time you have dozens of microservices, on a multiple of the number of developers on your team, it's time to think about OpenTelemetry.

OpenTelemetryallows us to instrument, monitor, and debug large numbers of microservices in an efficient manner. This is especially important in a distributed system with a large number of services that are communicating with each other. With OpenTelemetry, we can quickly diagnose issues across the services and detect performance bottlenecks. And with TelemetryHub, you can easily view and share the distributed traces that will show you how requests are traveling across your application.

Here's a table of key differences between Scout APM and TelemetryHub

Scout APM

TelemetryHub

Detailed tracing at a rate of 10 per min

Unlimited distributed tracing

Limited to back end monitoring

End to end monitoring (language agnostic) with added insight into your front-end code

Agent instrumentation that covers several of the top backend frameworks

Vendor agnostic, OpenTelemetry projects cover dozens of languages and frameworks

Tail based sampling with probability sampling
For efficient, compact footprint data

Advanced filtering that lets you send data you want to see, and filter noise

Error monitoring integrations

Error monitoring consolidation, with all errors standardized with OpenTelemetry

Limited Kubernetes monitoring (only what’s running inside the container

Deep understanding of Kubernetes with the OpenTelemetry K8s project

Custom context is limited, and specific to each agent

Search by custom attributes, and add as many as you like with the OpenTelemetry standards

Dispatcher – Laravel scheduled tasks

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 Dispatcher is a Laravel artisan command scheduling tool used to schedule artisan commands within your project so you don’t need to touch the crontab.

This sounds brilliant for shared hosts and on-premise apps. I can think of a few situations where I’ve needed this.

Generate Migrations from an existing database

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 Generate Laravel Migrations from an existing database, including indexes and foreign keys!

This looks great. I’ve been working on a side project that was developed with another framework and it didn’t have any migrations. I started fresh with new migrations on a separate database. Then the plan is to build an artisan command to sync the data once its ready to launch.

For more information check out the Github repo.

Baum – Create Nested Sets with Eloquent

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 Baum is an implementation of the Nested Set pattern for Laravel 4’s Eloquent ORM.

In the past I haven’t been a fan of nested sets because of the complexity involved in working with them. This looks to help alleviate a lot of the pain.

Laravel Package Installer

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 Are you tired of manually editing your config/app.php to add service providers and aliases? If so Ryan has your back:

This package allows for quick and easy installation of supported Laravel 4 packages. This packages installs packages and adds any necessary ServiceProviders and Aliases.

The only downside though, is that it requires packages to have a provides.json file and I would imagine some do not ship with this.

Announcing Cashier

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 How painful is billing? To be honest I find all billing systems rather cumbersome and dreadful. Granted they have improved over the old days when all you had to choose from was Paypal and Authorize.net but even today none of them are super clear and always a pain to setup.

Taylor just released a brand new Laravel package named Cashier to hopefully make all this wonderful to work with. It works directly with Stripe subscriptions to make managing them a breeze.

What I love about Laravel is how the vision is to eliminate developer pain and I enjoy all these cool features. The places where it should be opinionated it is. All the API’s are simple and just make sense.

This is being released before the conference so just imagine what type of things are being held back to announce at it. :-)

Laravel Storage

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 A simple filesystem abstraction package for Laravel 4.

This looks really nice on the surface. I haven’t had a chance to use it but have an app I’m working on now that needs exactly what this includes. Glad to see the API on this so simple:

Storage::upload($_FILE['avatar'], 'user/avatar.jpg');

That’s the way it should be!

Foreman – scaffolding your Laravel applications

 Programing Coderfunda     March 27, 2023     Laravel, Packages     No comments   

 Brian Webb:

Foreman is a Laravel application scaffolding tool that automates common tasks you typically perform with each new Laravel app you create. The directives you want Forman to perform are outlined in a JSON based template file.

This seems like a neat utility. Brian shows a more real world example in this gist and I created one for my common front end tooling.

The one thing I noticed is just how fast this installed the base app. I haven’t been using the laravel.phar and this make me realize what I’ve been missing1.

Overall this is an impressive tool and I can see a lot of potential in it.
