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.

tree shaking ;)

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 :)

https everywhere add-on?

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?

We've been working recently on a tool that utilizes Vizceral for visualization of traffic between services. One aim being that it should be easy/quick to setup without touching your existing application code. We'd love to hear about your use-case/setup, so if it sounds like something useful to you, then drop me a few lines - jan at pipetop.com.

I imagine something ingesting vpc flow logs and building the aggregated data could do that for you, but I'm not sure how much delay that would inject.

Does anyone know a good open-source animated graph visualization libary that is similar to this in presentation but written in C/C++ (preferably) or Python?

Not that widely know but matplotlib plots can be animated at a pinch. - the experience of doing so is not what I'd regard as fun though... They can also be embedded fairly easily in e.g. pyQT apps.

link is to http, not https version

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.

Are you using the https-everywhere plugin? I remember there being a bug where it redirected to https for subdomains of a domain that is https enabled.

Dynatrace does I think what you describe. It is on various levels - between services, hosts, processes (on different hosts too) and AWS zones.

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.

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.

Sorry, I misunderstood about it. Now, I know what you mean after re-read that comment.

I'm not him (or her), but I've got the same problem w/ FF48.0 - and, no, I don't have that add-on. I ended up just using Chrome for now.
