As a consumer, you know how you respond to slow sites. You hit the back button or close the browser. As a business owner, you’re well aware of this. You’re a consumer, too, after all. So, you know page load time and conversion rate are related. But how exactly? How does it affect the bottom line? In this article, we’ll analyze how page load time affects conversion rates and by how much.

DevOps has great potential; when it’s done right, it offers organizations improved collaboration, quick innovation, better quality, and shorter delivery cycles. But the reality is that some businesses don’t carry the DevOps process through to the data layer.

If you shudder thinking about compilation for different platforms, I know the feeling. One of the Java promises, the WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere) principle, while revolutionizing platform independence, it stopped short of one more step – to be able to deploy anywhere. Personally, I think that WORADA sounds awesome, but I guess before Docker it didn’t occur to people that eliminating “works on my machine” is as simple as shipping your machine.

Catchpoint makes parenting a saner sport! OK, that’s not the usual use case. But much as I know it sounds crazy, I used Endpoint Monitoring to explain to my 11-year-old gamer that I’m totally innocent. The reason she is having gaming lag and lost connections is not because of her parents’ poor home Wi-Fi or her old PC – and she doesn’t just have to take my word for it. Here, let me explain.

Last year, businesses started focusing more on accelerating digital transformation initiatives to meet growing customer expectations and deliver consistent digital experiences from anywhere—no matter the product, service, or industry.

Most of us who work in IT understand the concept of basic monitoring. It is not that it is an irrelevant concept, but rather, it is essential for any infrastructure, either manual, by reading logs and checking machines and services; semi-automated, using custom-made scripts or, the safest and most recommended, using a specific tool such as Pandora FMS to centralize your monitoring. But what is synthetic monitoring? We will see that throughout this article.

Recently, we added a new derived column function to Honeycomb, INGEST_TIMESTAMP(), which can help customers debug event latency and/or inaccurate timestamps. A meaningful minority of the events sent to Honeycomb are already old when they arrive, and a very special few claim to have been sent from the future. Has this happened to you? Let’s do an experiment.

At Elastic Security, we approach the challenge of threat detection with various methods. Traditionally, we have focused on machine learning models and behaviors. These two methods are powerful because they can detect never-before-seen malware. Historically, we’ve felt that signatures are too easily evaded, but we also recognize that ease of evasion is only one of many factors to consider.

We are thrilled that Elastic has been recognized as a Leader and a Fast Mover in the 2021 GigaOm Radar Report for Cloud Observability. GigaOm Radar reports offer a forward-looking view of the market and are designed to help IT decision makers evaluate solutions with an eye to the future. Their analysts consider not just where the solutions are today, but also how the market is evolving and where the solutions are headed relative to that trend.
