In the beginning we, as Humanity, created computers. We said “let it be electricity” and it was the light on our ballistic trajectory calculations. We saw the numbers matched and they were good. And we called the set of calculation instructions as “programs”, which were loaded straight into computer memories. And so was the first computing decade. GNU Linux commands didn’t exist yet, because there were no operating systems either.

Today, AWS has announced AWS Network Firewall: a new managed service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). As a launch partner, Splunk has worked closely with AWS to provide customers an integration to AWS Network Firewall.

And better yet, in a future release we’ll be putting a prebuilt Workplace Search analytics dashboard at your fingertips in Kibana, one of the most powerful visualization tools available.

We're excited to announce that indices created in Elasticsearch 7.10 will be smaller. Bigger isn't always better, and our internal benchmarks reported space reductions up to 10%. This may not seem like much for small use cases, but it's huge for teams handling (and paying for cloud storage of) petabytes of data.

Gartner recently released their top strategic technology trends for 2021. It’s no surprise that these trends reflect what many of us and our organizations have been experiencing, dealing with ongoing challenges during this global pandemic.

The concept of a microservice perfectly fits the structure of a serverless function, which easily enables deployment and runtime isolation for different services. On the storage side, services such as DynamoDB also make it easier to have independent databases for each microservice and scale them independently (when required or desirable). Before we dive into details, please consider whether the benefits of Microservices abundantly outweigh its disadvantages for your particular project and team.
