What is TicketBlaster?
In this week’s game, learn about how code profiling can help you identify and fix performance problems in code in seconds – isolating problems not only to what microservice, but what specific line of code is responsible for those problems.
You’ll learn about pop star Apple Stone and her fans complaining about not being able to buy tickets to her show – and you’ll be able to help her figure out what went wrong and fix it. On the way, you’ll learn about code profiling support in Splunk APM and how quickly you can isolate performance issues using it.
