Java has long been a foundational pillar in application development, its versatility and robustness serving as key drivers behind its widespread adoption. Since its inception, Java has evolved to meet the ever-changing demands of scalable deployments, offering a reliable platform for creating everything from web applications to complex, server-side systems.

In the digital age, where data flows as freely as water, securing our digital documents and libraries has become a paramount concern. As we navigate through an ever-expanding digital universe, the line between accessibility and security is often blurred. Striking the perfect balance requires not just technical know-how but a strategic mindset. Setting appropriate permissions is not just a safeguarding tactic; it’s a critical component of modern data management.

Welcome to our series on navigating the complexities of trace header propagation with OpenTelemetry in AWS Kinesis. In this 3-part exploration, we'll dive into the critical role of trace headers in distributed systems, discuss the unique challenges presented by AWS Kinesis, and explore innovative solutions that keep your data tracking robust and consistent.

Cloud Connect offers a secure, reliable, dedicated connection between your organisation’s IT infrastructure and the cloud computing services it uses. It provides simple, seamless access to the cloud. If your organisation uses cloud applications, Cloud Connect is a technology you should seriously consider. To help you with that, here we explain what Cloud Connect is, how it works, and the benefits it could offer you.

The managed service provider (MSP) model delivers tremendous value for clients. They benefit from expertise and implementation that would be difficult and cost-prohibitive to build and manage themselves. The MSPs take on those responsibilities, which means they are on the hook for delivering the services to their clients in an effective and efficient manner.

As of 2023, 89% of companies are using a multi-cloud approach. The race to the cloud might feel truly like that – a race – but the finish line isn’t hybridization or even a full migration. Even after you’ve made it to the cloud, there’s still more work. Namely, determining cloud costs. Microservices, containers, Kubernetes made resource costs, associated costs and more are near-impossible to sort though.

Kubernetes has emerged as a pivotal force in shaping modern cloud infrastructure. Originating as a brainchild of Google, Kubernetes has evolved into an open-source platform that has revolutionized how applications are deployed, scaled, and managed across a vast network of machines. Its ability to orchestrate containerized applications efficiently makes it an indispensable tool within cloud computing. However, with great power comes great responsibility, particularly in the realm of cost management.

We know monitoring your AWS environment can be difficult, which is why we’re thrilled to tell you about a new application we’ve built to make the entire process easier, more efficient, and more intuitive. We’ve offered AWS monitoring capabilities for some time, but with the AWS Observability application in Grafana Cloud, we’ve distilled our collective efforts into a more integrated and potent solution.

At Qovery, we're thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking way for AWS users to drastically reduce their costs — by up to 60% on EC2 instances. This significant reduction is made possible through the synergy of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter, AWS's powerful autoscaler.

As software systems become more complex, navigating their inner workings has become increasingly difficult due to the evolution of more advanced architectures. While distributed systems, such as microservices and cloud-native architectures, offer benefits in scalability and agility, they also make it more challenging to pinpoint and resolve system issues. Traditional methods for tracking errors are often insufficient in these multifaceted environments.
