Operational Impact
Voxer was able to use DTrace to achieve CPU profiling for Node.js applications and view the entire application stack to spot “hot” functions. This afforded Voxer critical insights on where the CPU was allocating compute resources and, by extension, what parts of an application stack were impacting performance and user experience. | |
Voxer gained granular insights into lower-level processes that greatly impact application performance such as disk I/O, file system latency, and network I/O. Because Voxer could run DTrace and Joyent Cloud Analytics through SmartOS on Joyent Cloud, Ranney could glean extremely detailed application activity information and gain transparency into how much compute resources each process was using. | |
Voxer was able to save money by optimizing application performance. Running cleaner code and more efficient applications enabled better utilization per virtual environment and lower costs. | |
