We may not always know what is happening behind the scenes when we add a dependency to our projects. We expect this process to “just work” to carry on building applications. Little we may know about the level of commitment from maintainers and the amount of work needed to have everyone seamlessly use a library. Let’s hop in backstage to discover the unique way Blackfire releases its Python binaries.

As the future of hosting in the cloud continues to evolve and expand, LogicMonitor continues to work to empower admins with useful insights and valuable data to make smart business decisions. Azure Cost Management with LogicMonitor helps optimize cost when planning future rollouts, auditing others already in-flight, and capturing shareable items on a recurring basis or with live access for accounting or management teams to get quick insight into Azure costs.

Enterprises lately are understanding the need to move their business applications to cloud. Well, one of the major contributing reasons for this move is the rising OpEx and the heavy debt of managing applications in their own environment. Cloud providers are waiting for such opportunities where enterprises are planning to migrate to cloud, the question is will it help or not?

A software development life cycle (SDLC) is the sequence of steps a software project moves from conception to completion. The SDLC process specifies how to build, test, maintain, and improve specific software. Modern software development life cycles typically involve five to seven stages, depending on the model you use. Today, the SDLC comprises eight major models, from the traditional Waterfall approach to the ultra-modern Spiral Model.

Regulatory compliance and data privacy requirements require financial institutions (FIs) to consider carefully where their applications are running and where the customer data is stored. The data protection and data sovereignty laws in most countries require an enterprise to keep data in certain geographic locations. PCI Data Security Standard, for example, regulates the way the customer and financial transactions data is stored and transmitted.

When you migrated critical infrastructure to the cloud, what were your goals and expectations? Odds are, you hoped leaving on-premises infrastructure would produce significant organizational benefits. You probably figured you’d streamline operations and reduce management overhead. You felt you’d have an easier time meeting business goals. Perhaps most important of all, you likely expected your environment would become less complex, and even cost less to operate.

Having achieved almost consumer-grade accessibility, public cloud adoption is increasingly driven by individual business functions. Enterprise teams no longer need to understand how the technology works, or even where the service operates from. To buy a cloud product they just need a web browser and a credit card. But this level of simplicity raises challenges of its own when it comes to regulatory concerns.

Azure App Service is a cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for deploying functions, web apps, mobile apps, and other resources. It allows developers to deploy code—using common languages and frameworks—in minutes without worrying about provisioning or managing infrastructure. Developers can then use Azure App Service to scale their services dynamically to meet demand.
