What is L1, L2 and L3 Support Engineering


In this blog article, I'm going to explain about the Software support engineering role with my experience. I was a Level 2 and 3 support Engineer during my career.

L1 - Level 1
L2 - Level 2
L3 - Level 3
Ticket - Incident

L1 support includes interacting with customers, understand their issue and create tickets against it. The ticket then routed to the relevant L2 support ( Integration support, Server & Storage support, etc ...). L1 support Engineers have basic knowledge of product/service and skill to troubleshoot a very basic issue like password reset, software installation/uninstallation/reinstallation.

L2 support manages the tickets which routed to them by L1( L2 support also can create tickets against any issue notice by them). They have more knowledge, more experience in solving related complex issues and can guide/help L1 support folks job in troubleshooting. If the solution not provided at this level then escalate to the L3.

L3 is the last line of support and usually comprise of a development team which addresses the technical issues. They are expert in their domain and handle the most difficult problems. They do the code changes, research and develop the solution for challenging new or unknown issues.

Java Increment Operations: `n++` vs `n = n + 1` vs `n += 1`

In Java, incrementing a variable by one can be done in several ways: n++ , n = n + 1 , and n += 1 . While these expressions achieve the same end result, they differ slightly in syntax and use cases. Let's explore each one and discuss their performance. 1. n++ Post-Increment Operator : Increments the value of n by 1 after its current value has been used. Common Usage : Typically used in loops and other contexts where the current value needs to be used before incrementing. int n = 5; n++; // n is now 6 2. n = n + 1 Addition Assignment : Explicitly sets n to its current value plus 1. Readability : Straightforward and clear, though slightly more verbose. int n = 5; n = n + 1; // n is now 6 3. n += 1 Compound Assignment Operator : Equivalent to n = n + 1 , but more concise. Usage : Combines addition and assignment into one step. int n = 5; n += 1; // n is

Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java

Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java In Java, the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is a part of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that improves the performance of Java applications by compiling bytecode into native machine code at runtime. The JIT compiler includes two different compilers, known as the C1 and C2 compilers, each with distinct optimization strategies and purposes. C1 Compiler (Client Compiler) The C1 compiler, also known as the client compiler, is designed for fast startup times and lower memory consumption. It performs lighter and quicker optimizations, which makes it suitable for applications that require quick startup and responsiveness. Key characteristics of the C1 compiler include: Quick Compilation: Prioritizes fast compilation times over deep optimizations. Low Overhead: Consumes less memory and resources during compilation. Profile-Guided Optimization: Ca

When To Use Indexes In MySQL

When deciding when and how to create an index in your MySQL database, it's important to consider how the data is being used. Let's say you have a database of  students . We will create it like this: CREATE TABLE `students` ( `id` int ( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `first_name` varchar ( 255 ) DEFAULT NULL , `last_name` varchar ( 255 ) DEFAULT NULL , `class` varchar ( 255 ) DEFAULT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `id` ) ) ENGINE = InnoDB Indexes are best used on columns that are frequently used in where clauses, and in any kind of sorting, such as "order by". You should also pay attention to whether or not this information will change frequently, because it will slow down your updates and inserts. Since you wont frequently be adding students, you don't have to worry about the inserts Let's say that you will be looking up the students with a web interface and the end user will be typing in the students name to find them, since r
