Configuration has long been a hot topic in the Elixir community, and luckily, in the recent months, there has been a great deal of thoughtful work put into making this problem an easier one to solve. Today, we’re going to show you how to migrate from an Elixir application that has been configured with the widely used config/*.exs files at compile-time, to an application that instead uses environment variables for configuration and is configured at runtime.

Businesses around the world have been forced to adopt remote working policies in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. In just two months, a vast number of employees around the world shifted to a work-from-home environment. Although some businesses already had many of their IT operations available on the cloud before the pandemic—with the help of cloud-hosted email and collaboration suites such as Office 365—no one expected such a sudden and widespread transition into teleworking.

Grafana v7.0 is coming next month! Here’s a sneak peek of one of its features: a brand-new table panel. The current (old) table panel has accumulated a ton of feature requests over the years, and we are excited to finally close many of them in 7.0 with this new table panel. Among the many new things this panel can do is to include other visualizations inside cells. For example, you can configure a cell style (per column) to render the value as a bar gauge.

So, you are considering moving to the cloud. Or, likely, have already transitioned your services. If you are wondering what the next steps are, you have many options on how to move towards cloud infrastructure. This blog will cover what to consider when using public clouds.

We’re excited to announce that Lumigo achieved the coveted AWS Lambda Ready designation as a serverless-first observability platform. Over the years we’ve put a lot of effort into building a product that would help the mainstream adoption of serverless technology by providing developers with the tools they need and it’s truly an honor to have AWS recognize those efforts.

Web server. File server. Email server… In this post we could review most of the servers we use every day; this world is highly interconnected on a global scale. I write these lines from America and whether you are in Europe or anywhere else in the world, you’ll use at least one server to read this and have the basic notions of what a server operating system is, but not without first knowing the background of this specialized software!

We are thrilled to announce that we have just raised a $2.25M seed round. This round is led by Accel and some great founders — including current and former executives from Vercel (formerly Zeit), Instana, Twilio and many more. Welcome, on board! Active monitoring and end-to-end testing have been silos with different tools and platforms. Modern DevOps demands a change. We firmly believe that Checkly sits at the intersection of these distinct market trends.

We just closed a $2.25M investment round led by Accel and a pack of top rate Angels. Lots to talk about, here's the itinerary: Onwards! Let's start at the end. Three months ago Checkly was a bootstrapped solo project run by me from a desk in the back of a Berlin fashion label's spare floor space (Frisur!). Now we are six people on a mission to give active monitoring and E2E testing a very serious kick in the butt. Here is a copy & paste from our pitch deck.

Starting today, you can use more of Honeycomb than ever before for free. That means more teams can start building up production excellence with features that were previously only available for paid subscribers.
