We describe the design of, and experience with, Query, a monitoring system that supports the Akamai EdgePlatform. Query is a foundation of Akamai's approach to administering its distributed computing platform, allowing administrators, operations staff, developers, customers, and automated systems near real-time access to data about activity in Akamai's network. Users extract information regarding the current state of the network via a SQL-like interface. Versions of Query have been deployed since the inception of Akamai's platform, and it has scaled to support a distributed platform of 60,000+ servers, collecting over 200 gigabytes of data and answering over 30,000 queries approximately every 2 minutes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
