With APIs becoming more complex and distributed, developers sometimes struggle to find the relevant logs when they need to investigate a specific issue. In the new Salesforce Commerce APIs (SCAPI), we created such an architecture of distributed systems and recognized this problem early. Our approach to mitigate it was the introduction of a correlation ID. This ID… Continue reading Investigate Issues with Ease by Adding a Correlation ID to your API

Silent data corruptions (SDCs), data errors that go undetected by the larger system, are a widespread problem for large-scale infrastructure systems. Left undetected, these types of corruptions can cause data loss and propagate across the stack and manifest as application-level problems. Silent data corruptions (SDC) in hardware impact computational integrity for large-scale applications. Sources of… Continue reading Detecting silent errors in the wild: Combining two novel approaches to quickly detect silent data corruptions at scale

What the research is: Recent research has demonstrated that binary optimization is important for achieving peak performance for various applications. For instance, the state-of-the-art BOLT binary optimizer developed at Meta, which is part of the LLVM Compiler Project, significantly improves the performance of highly optimized binaries produced using compilers’ most aggressive optimizations, such as profile-guided… Continue reading VESPA: Static profiling for binary optimization
