DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019: Linux Server Deep Dives

This talk, presented by Amin Astaneh from Acquia, delves into the advanced features of the Linux kernel that enhance our understanding of server operations and application behaviors. It specifically explores the capabilities of perf_events and eBPF, demonstrating how these tools can reveal real-time insights about Drupal site performance that are not captured by standard logs or traditional performance monitoring tools. The session also includes a brief introduction to practical applications of these technologies for diagnosing performance issues, making it ideal for attendees with a background in Linux and host observability tools.
