Ampere PMU Profiler: A Guide to Microarchitecture Profiling

Executive Summary The Ampere® PMU Profiler (APP) is a Python-based tool designed to provide deep insight into the microarchitectural behavior of applications running on Ampere CPUs (e.g., Ampere® Altra® and AmpereOne®). Unlike standard profilers that identify where time is spent (e.g., which functions consume CPU time), the PMU Profiler explains why time is being spent by measuring low-level hardware events associated with the CPU pipeline and execution behavior. A key outcome of APP is that it

Designing Replay-Safe CDC Pipelines With Kafka, Debezium, and Recovery Contracts

Change data capture (CDC) pipelines look straightforward on paper: capture database changes, publish them to Kafka, and update downstream systems. The difficulty starts when events are duplicated, consumers restart, projections drift, or a team needs to replay months of history without corrupting the state it is trying to recover. A reliable CDC design has to account for those failure modes from the beginning. That means combining Kafka and Debezium with idempotent writes, deterministic projecti
