Log-based monitoring for AWS Lambda

Monitoring and analytics have been an issue for Serverless systems since they were invented. While it’s easy to attach an agent like NewRelic or DataDog to a server or container, function monitoring requires a different approach. Serverless applications, where logic is distributed over a large number of functions, attaching agents or wrappers leads to cost increase and development overhead.

Knowing How Much to Spend on the AWS Elastic Load Balancer

Load balancing is an element of most popular web applications. The reason for this is simple: Load balancers maintain application scalability and sustainability. It’s nearly impossible to imagine a modern application handling continuous traffic or periodic traffic spikes while relying only on a single running server’s capacity. As a result, load balancers have become a critical part of software development.

Best Alternatives to Azure Monitor

Due to rapid cloud adoption and with never-ending user requirements, the Azure architecture might become complex and you might eventually lose sight of the overall cloud estate and how it relates to each other. Since the Azure portal was designed in a technology vertical silo and it has near zero application visibility, it is not possible to monitor them as a business application in the Azure portal.

Monitoring Azure infrastructure with Filebeat and Elastic Observability

The ability to access the internal state of your application ecosystem is critical to optimizing your applications and the experience of your users. Elastic Cloud on Microsoft Azure gives you access to Elastic Observability, allowing you to monitor your infrastructure and see how every signal interrelates by utilizing a wide variety of resources that can be deployed in minutes.

What is Cloud-Native Storage?

Cloud-native is the ultimate buzzword lately. So, is “cloud-native storage” just an attempt to grab on to this concept, hoping for a little boost? Actually, there is something more to it, and I’ll unpack that here. The premise of cloud-native storage is simple: its native habitat is a Kubernetes cluster. When we design with the assumption that a technology will exist in Kubernetes, we get to look around and see what functionalities already exist in that system.

What Is Profitable Innovation and How Can Your Business Achieve It?

In the context of businesses, the ultimate goal of innovation for technology companies is to drive a profit. This means that even though many software engineering problems can be solved with enough time and budget — just because a business can solve a problem doesn’t mean that they should. Sometimes, even once a team has figured out how to solve an engineering problem, it doesn’t make sense to deploy the solution — because it costs so much to operate.
