A little over a month ago, Jeremy Daly introduced the concept of the #serverless bubble coming out of #ServerlessNYC. In his tweet he said “if you’re in it, a serverless solution seems intuitive. If you’re not, the paradigm shift can seem overwhelming (& unapproachable).”
Patrick, Vincent and myself founded Nexthink because we believed in a future in which IT departments and employees work together to have a great digital experience. At that time, we observed that IT departments were traditionally focused on server, network and applications and often neglected the employee experience as a key driver for success and productivity.

If you are running an online business, your sales will greatly depend on the quality and availability of your e-commerce website. While the quality of the product is equally important, it is your website that tempts potential consumers to buy your product.

Best case scenario, data amounts to terabytes (hence the name “Big Data”), if not petabytes.
In the past I used to use the right tool for the right purpose. This led me to employ a lot of tools, and with most turning out to use subscription-based billing, increasing our costs much more that I would have hoped for. So, I adopted a new strategy: Use as few tools as possible, but use them as much as possible.
Stan Lee believed in the power of strength in numbers, that a group working together can create a force so powerful it’s unstoppable; from “X-Men” to “Avengers”, these teams had a pioneering spirit, heroic work ethics, and group thinking that surpasses individual brainpower almost every time. Today marks that day when the LogDNA superhero team becomes even stronger. I’m excited to announce that we have closed our Series B round of financing.
Protecting your data, and that of your clients, should be central to all of your business practices. Customers entrust companies with often very sensitive data, and it should be used and stored safely.
