Title: Innovations by Steven Flanders: Pioneering Microservices Error Tracking

Introduction

Steven Flanders, a distinguished inventor based in Nashua, NH, has made significant contributions to the realm of microservices and distributed computing systems. With a total of 15 patents to his name, Flanders continues to innovate in ways that enhance application performance and reliability.

Latest Patents

Among his most recent innovations are two notable patents focusing on error tracking within microservices-based applications. The first patent outlines a method for tracking errors by mapping traces to error stacks. This method involves ingesting a variety of spans generated by microservices over a specified duration, consolidating these into traces associated with a common trace identifier. Flanders' approach simplifies error resolution by mapping traces to computed error stacks and emitting these with corresponding attributes, ultimately reducing duplicates and maintaining counts for each pair of error stacks and attributes.

The second patented method aims to configure alerts for tags associated with high-latency and error spans in instrumented software. This computer-implemented method analyzes spans and traces in a distributed computing environment by aggregating ingested spans into related traces. By examining the duration of these traces and generating histograms, it determines patterns and triggers alerts for tags related to traces that exceed a set duration threshold.
