To us, dogfooding means using Sentry to improve Sentry. Here in this article, you’ll see how we used Performance to improve our search infrastructure. Recently, we extended our performance monitoring solution support to PHP and Serverless. We’re bringing it to Ruby and Java + Springboot soon too. But as some of you may have noticed, there’s also a new view in Performance, Trends. Trends shows you the most improved and regressed transactions in relation to releases.

To improve front-end performance in your application, it’s important to understand what kind of problems users are experiencing. They may be encountering slow load times, seeing unexpected shifts, or having trouble interacting with UI components. The question is, how bad is it? Is it perpetual-rage-click bad? Is it ditch-your-app bad? Is it rant-on-Twitter bad?

Remote teams are not a new concept. Several organizations have been outsourcing development and support tasks to nearshore and offshore bases for more than a decade. And remote working is gradually increasing given the benefits it gives, like high productivity levels, lower costs, and access to a global talent pool. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, virtual teams and remote working have truly become mainstream and are being embraced by both employers and employees alike.

The control plane is the brain and heart of Kubernetes. All of its components are key to the proper working and efficiency of the cluster. Monitor Kubernetes control plane is just as important as monitoring the status of the nodes or the applications running inside. It may be even more important, because an issue with the control plane will affect all of the applications and cause potential outages.

We dedicate a lot of space in our blog to the topic of monitoring. That’s because when you’re managing Kubernetes clusters, things can change quickly. It’s important that you have tools to monitor the health and resource metrics of your clusters. In Rancher 2.5, we introduced a new version of our monitoring based on the Prometheus Operator, which provides Kubernetes-native deployment and management of Prometheus and related monitoring components.

Today was a monumental day for Logz.io and our entire community. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing how people use the technology we’ve built to enhance their businesses. At ScaleUP 2020, our first ever global user conference, we hosted an exciting day of technical, customer-led sessions with our community. We also had the privilege of unveiling some ground-breaking new solutions and enhancements to our end-to-end cloud-native observability platform.

Get started with Gremlin's Chaos Engineering tools to safely, securely, and simply inject failure into your systems to find weaknesses before they cause customer-facing issues. This year’s Chaos Conf was packed full of incredible talks from some of the industry’s foremost experts on Chaos Engineering.

Grocery shopping is tedious and time consuming. In search of a more streamlined experience, I decided to try Instacart. Unfortunately, using their site is also tedious and time consuming.

We are pleased to announce two new patch releases for CFEngine, version 3.12.6 and 3.15.3! These releases mainly contain bug fixes and dependency updates, but in 3.15.3 there are also some new enhancements in Mission Portal. The new cf-secret binary is also included in 3.15.3 packages.

During the course of execution, software programs accumulate several data objects that serve no purpose in the program and need to be let go. If not dealt with, they can keep eating up memory and significantly hamper performance. Garbage collection is the process of cleaning up all these useless data objects that continue to reside in memory. It frees up the corresponding RAM to make room for new program objects.
