System Performance

The book is dedicated to the concepts, strategies, tools, and configuration of operating systems and applications using Linux-based systems as examples. Understanding these tools and methods is critically important when developing modern software. The application of the strategies presented in the updated and revised edition will allow performance engineers to enhance user interactions and reduce costs, especially for cloud environments.

Brendan Gregg - an expert in system performance and author of several bestsellers - concisely but thoroughly presents the most important information about the operation of operating systems, hardware, and applications that will enable specialists to quickly achieve results, even if they have never engaged in performance analysis before. The author then provides detailed explanations on the use of modern tools and methods, including extended BPF, and demonstrates how to achieve maximum efficiency of your systems in cloud, web, and large enterprise environments.
