When it comes to Java applications, to make sure they run at peak performance, it’s critical to close the resource gap between the code and the virtual machine it’s running on – if there is one. The way to do that is by peaking into and fine-tuning the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). However, that’s easier said than done. Many factors can influence JVM performance, and during tuning, you must consider all of them. Though, there are ways around that to make it not be such a pain.

We’re happy to announce a new integration with Google Stackdriver, allowing users to easily ship data from Google Cloud Platform into Logz.io via Google Pub/Sub! Early adopters of Google Cloud may recall that they were pretty much in the dark as far as logging their projects was concerned.

Since Kubernetes was open sourced by Google in 2014, it has steadily grown in popularity to become nearly synonymous with Docker orchestration. Kubernetes is being widely adopted by forward-thinking organizations such as Box and GitHub for a number of reasons: its active community, rapid development, and of course its ability to schedule, automate, and manage distributed applications on dynamic container infrastructure.

Following Icinga’s development and gathering valuable insights can be time consuming. So we thought about trying something new: Icinga Insights, a live stream on Youtube packed with interesting details on a given topic. As you may have heard, Icinga 2.11 was the biggest release ever done. We’ve invited Michael to join the conversation with Christian this time. Originally targeting 1 hour time, we had a lot of fun during the stream and just kept talking.
