How to Determine API Slow Downs, Part 2

How to Determine API Slow Downs, Part 2

A long time ago I wrote an article on how to determine that an API is slowing down using simple statistics known as linear regression. In the conclusion of that article, it was mentioned some challenges in applying linear regression. It is hard to define the reference point. Difficulty in defining the angle of the regression lines. The reference point means we need two regression lines to know whether the current situation is normal or abnormal, and the angle between the regression lines is the basis for our judgment.
