When we graduated Loki into a GA release last year, there were more than 137 contributors who already made more than 1,000 contributions to the project. We also added hosted Loki to the lineup of Grafana Cloud offerings after it proved to be stable internally for our ops cluster, storing 40TB and half a trillion log lines each month. There was, however, one persistent problem that kept surfacing, especially for developers who were writing applications in Go: The regex package was slow.

Amazon Web Services Elastic Load Balancer (AWS ELB) enables websites and web services to serve more requests from users by adding more servers based on need. Unhealthy ELB can cause your website to go offline or slow down dramatically. Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances.

Netlify allows developers and businesses to publish modern web projects right from your git repos. There’s nothing to set up & no servers to maintain. This past month, Netlify launched Build Plugins, which allows Netlify users to automate and customize their build processes. We loved what the Netlify team was building and how they were automating tedious tasks for developers. So we built the Sentry Netlify Build Plugin!

The public cloud offers great scalability and flexibility for customers and is a model where service providers make many decisions on their behalf. For example, in cloud service providers like Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Service (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, a cloud load balancer is spun up on demand. The load balancer gets an IP address automatically and your application is ready to be served.

I’d like to share some of the best practices we’ve learned on our journey to battle performance issues with the Jaeger tracing tool. Some may say we are experts in logging. We log for a living, and have our log analytics service (which we based on open source ELK Stack) to prove it. We’ve mastered logging to the level where debugging and troubleshooting our system is a no-brainer.

Maimonides Medical Center is a non-profit hospital located in Brooklyn, N.Y. When COVID-19 hit, many on their team were instructed to work from home. With an increase in remote workers and pressures around patient care, the IT team needed a solution to more effectively monitor and troubleshoot their Citrix infrastructure that delivers medical staff access to clinical and other applications.

In recent years, digital transformation projects have dominated the tech priorities of most IT departments – and rightfully so given that they are tasked with ensuring their organizations stay relevant in a fast-changing world where customer expectations are soaring, and agility is everything.

The Ghost blogging platform offers a lean and minimalist experience. And that's why we love it. But unfortunately sometimes, it can be too lean for our requirements. Web performance has become more important and relevant than ever, especially since Google started including it as a parameter in its SEO rankings. We make sure to optimize our websites as much as possible, offering the best possible user experience.

Modern businesses rely on a complex ecosystem of digital networks, databases, applications, user devices, and more. The tools and platforms supporting this ecosystem undergo constant refinement and upgrades. However, the basic methods for monitoring infrastructure and application performance have remained unchanged, and logging is one such methods. Every computer, server, networking device, and application produces logs, a timestamped record of events within a system.
