Am I the only one who has troubles establishing a connection to the domain? In Firefox, I'm getting "Secure Connection Failed" and I can't see any certificate information... Using curl locally and also on one DO instance, I get the following: $ curl -v https://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.html * Trying 74.125.133.214... * Connected to techblog.netflix.com (74.125.133.214) port 443 (#0) * Server a…

I have the same issue, even though the link actually is http, my browser tries to open the https version, no matter what. It looks like https://netflix.com had hsts with includeSubdomains at one point in time which my browser has still cached.

Nice move Netflix, and I see it's using three.js, so the library might even get smaller once the next version of three (rewritten as ES6 modules, to make use of three shaking) is released.

I have no problem opening https://netflix.com on Mozilla Firefox. But, the problem arises like what people said when opening Netflix techblog using https.

Why did you add https? Just curious.

I did not, seems like Firefox automatically redirects both http://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.htm... and techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.html to https automatically.... In Chrome it works normally.

Thanks for the pointer :)

This seems like it's a rendering layer for traffic data you're supposed to provide it. I'd love to have something I can get running more-or-less out of the box to collect and visualize traffic between my nodes on AWS, does anybody know of such a project?

It's not Open Source, but the sysdig cloud dynamic topology map does pretty much what you describe https://sysdig.com/product/.

Boundary can kinda do it. AppDynamics can but doesn't work well with over a couple of thousand nodes. Companies internally have built things to do this at the method-depends-on-remote-service level to visualize/analyze up and down-stream dependencies but I haven't seen anything open source. I was thinking of doing the same at the Rack level for ruby apps.

GP didn't say https://netflix.com didn't work. He said it sets HSTS for all subdomains, hence forcing https in places it doesn't work.
