Introduction As the number of channel APIs increases, the user base is also growing rapidly. Due to the inherent business complexity of channel APIs and the numerous underlying services they depend on, potential issues can have a significant impact. Relying solely on common unit tests, integration tests, and performance tests to verify service stability is … Read more
As technologies like cloud-native and microservices bring competitiveness to enterprises, they also make systems more complex. Increasingly complex systems make it difficult to identify the root causes of failures, leading to most of the time spent on locating issues. Being able to clearly understand what is happening in the system is one of the prerequisites … Read more
