Most modern applications today are being designed as a set of microservices with each service running as an independent application. This simply implies that one large application is broken down into small Apps running independently and only communicating with each other. This of course makes it much easier to build and maintain Apps but also offers way more value when combined with containerization technology.

In a previous article, you learned how to receive data from an external source. In this article, you learn how to send a request or data to an external source using outgoing webhooks. As you learned from the first article in this series, we already receive alerts in Mattermost when the temperature of our fridge is too high. But what if we want to send a request to our fridges to give us the current temperature?

Many organizations across the U.K. are tackling the three main factors behind digital transformation: cloud technology, IoT, and employee mobility.

Episode 4, which took place over Zoom on Wednesday, September 9th, picked up where last month left off with a candid discussion between business leaders, consultants and MIT academics about the ongoing challenges enterprise is experiencing due to COVID-19 and how business leaders and others are handling them.

There’s no “i” in Teams…but there are two “i’s” in “PagerDuty for Microsoft Teams Meetings.” Sometimes a face-to-face meeting—or its digital equivalent, the video conference—is exactly what’s needed to solve a digital incident that’s constantly evolving. The ability to get key stakeholders together in a single video meeting to discuss an incident can speed up valuable response time and save potential lost revenue.

In 2020, your company is no longer digital-first, you’re very likely digital-only. To your customers, the digital experience is the only experience, and if it isn’t satisfactory they’re going to move on. That puts an increasing amount of pressure on customer service teams.

The integration gives users the ability to create Zoom meetings directly within PagerDuty so teams can instantly assemble face-to-face, share incident details in real time, and orchestrate comprehensive incident response.

Trends in the infrastructure and software space have changed the way we build and run software. As a result, we have started treating our infrastructure as code, which has helped us lower costs and get our products to market more quickly. These new architectures also give us the ability to test our software faster in production-like deployments, and generally deliver more stable and reproducible deployments.
