In Windows 10 1809, Microsoft changed the default setting for USB drives and other removable media. They can now simply be yanked out of the port without prior disconnection. However, the "Quick […]

In our projects, we use microservice architecture. When performance bottlenecks arise, a significant amount of time is spent on monitoring and analyzing logs. Logging the timings of individual operations to a log file usually makes it difficult to understand what triggered these operations, to trace the sequence of actions, or the time offset between one operation and another across different services. To minimize […]
