Presentation: Instrumentation at Scale: Having Your Performance Cake and Eating It Too


Brian Martin discusses the real-world performance costs of metrics libraries and shares strategies for low-overhead, "fearless" instrumentation. Drawing from his work at IOP Systems, he explores atomic primitives, per-CPU sharding, lock-free histograms, and eBPF integration to help software architects and engineering leaders maintain full system visibility without sacrificing performance.
