Getting started with RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker software that facilitates communication and data exchange between various components of distributed applications. Acting as an intermediary, RabbitMQ enables different software systems, services, and devices to exchange information in a seamless and efficient manner. It follows the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), a standardized communication protocol designed for robust and scalable messaging.

ExpressJS Container Debugging

In recent years, the landscape of application development has experienced a paradigm shift, largely driven by the rise of containerization and microservices architectures. Amid this transformation, Express.js has emerged as a dynamic and versatile framework that stands as a one-stop shop for crafting robust web applications. Its popularity owes much to its minimalist approach, allowing developers to swiftly build APIs and web applications with ease.

What's New in the Kubernetes 1.28 Second Release

From its humble beginnings, Kubernetes’ growth story continues to be a testament to the power of open-source collaboration, and its current 1.28 second release is certainly no exception. It’s not just a product of ingenious coding but also the sweat and night oil of a global community – from seasoned industry stalwarts to students just making their debut in the open-source world.

Using Kubernetes with AWS Lambda: Scaling Up Your Serverless Applications

Introducing the new Lumigo Live Tail

As developers, we understand the immense value of having real-time access to live traces. It significantly enhances our ability to identify, debug, and troubleshoot potential issues within applications, streamlining the development and deployment process. Today, we are excited to introduce the new and improved Live Tail feature at Lumigo, which enhances your observability experience to a whole other level.

Troubleshooting ECS Container Crashes

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a versatile platform that enables developers to build scalable and resilient applications using containers. However, containerized services, like Node.js applications, may face challenges like memory leaks, which can result in container crashes. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the process of identifying and addressing memory leaks in Node.js containers running on ECS. First, let’s look closer at what a memory leak is.

Kubernetes Troubleshooting Reimagined: Operators and Auto-Tracing

Kubernetes operators help to simplify, streamline, and automate application tasks beyond the conventional Kubernetes offerings. In this webinar, AWS Developer Advocate for Kubernetes, Lukonde Mwila, will delve into the remarkable capabilities of Kubernetes operators and how to leverage them in your applications. You’ll also learn how Lumigo built a Kubernetes operator for seamless distributed tracing leveraging OpenTelemetry. We will also demonstrate how our operator transforms complex processes into a single command, promising an unmatched user experience and exceptional app health insights.

Save money on Serverless: common costly mistakes and how to avoid them

When used properly, serverless technologies like AWS Lambda can lower the cost of running a system. This is because you only pay for these services when you’re using them, so you don’t waste any money. Serverless technologies also have other benefits. They can provide better security, built-in redundancy and scalability. The biggest plus is that they let you do more with less time and effort. You can focus on the things that directly add value to your business.

Kubernetes Troubleshooting with Operators and Auto-Tracing

Kubernetes has revolutionized the way we manage and deploy applications, but as with any system, troubleshooting can often be a daunting task. Even with the multitude of features and services provided by Kubernetes, when something goes awry, the complexity can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. This is where Kubernetes Operators and Auto-Tracing come into play, aiming to simplify the troubleshooting process.
