The Second Way: The Principles of Feedback

Implementing the technical practices of the Second Way

  • Provides fast and continuous feedback from operations to development.
  • Allows us to find and fix problems earlier on the software development life cycle.

Create Telemetry to Enable Seeing and Solving Problems

  • Identifying what causes problems can be difficult to pinpoint: was it the code, was it networking, was it something else?
  • Use a disciplined approach to identifying the problems, don't just reboot servers.
  • The only way to do this effectively is to always be generating telemetry.
    • Needs to be in our applications and deployment pipelines.
    • More metrics provide the confidence to change things.
  • Companies that track telemetry are 168 times faster at resolving incidents than companies that don't, per the 2015 State of DevOps Report (Puppet).
    • The two things that contributed to this increased MTTR ability was operations using source control and proactive monitoring (i.e. telemetry).

Create Centralized Telemetry Infrastructure

  • Must create a comprehensive set of telemetry from application metrics to operational metrics so you can see how the system operates as a whole.
    • Data collection at the business logic, application, and environmental layers via events, logs and metrics.
    • Event router that stores events and metrics.
      • This enables visualization, trending, alerting, and anomaly detection.
      • Transforms logs into metrics, grouping by known elements.
    • Need to collect telemetry from our deployment pipelines, for metrics like:
      • How many unit tests failed?
      • How long it takes to bu

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
