A crucial role is played by configurations (e.g. JVM and DBMS settings, container CPU and memory, etc): wrong settings can cause poor performance and incidents. But tuning configurations is a manual and lengthy task, as there are 100s of settings in the stack all interacting in counterintuitive ways. In...
