DevOps is an organizational philosophy that enables continuous delivery and continuous deployment with a focus on continuous testing, automation and collaboration among dev teams, business, and operations teams. Consequently, continuous monitoring is also a key phase of the DevOps lifecycle, which is where application performance monitoring tools come into the picture. APM tools enable developers to monitor user experience in real-time with an eye on the health and stability of their applications.

It is no secret that it is not that hard to accidentally spend a boatload of money on AWS. This Twitter user told the story of his $77,000 mistake with a monkey emoji (because what’s funnier than spending the price of an entry level Tesla by accident.) The scary part is that many of us have been there. If you are not looking at your cloud bill every day, it is easy to let the costs run up quickly, then suffer from bill shock when it arrives a month later.

In this article, we are going to look at deploying Jaeger on Kubernetes and OpenShift with Elasticsearch storage using operators. We will go through the configuration (custom resources) and also see what benefits OpenShift offers over vanilla Kubernetes.

The future of software testing depends upon the amalgam of human ability and machine capability. Implementing automated software testing with native manual testing allows testers to easily replicate processes, resulting in more efficient and accurate testing.

Local prototyping has become de rigueur for most web stack developers in the last few years. Even complex web backends are generally assumed to be emulatable from a developer’s laptop.

I recently spoke with Matthew VanTassel, CTO at Rise to learn how he’s using InfluxDB at home to make his house smarter, to improve his online gaming and to understand his garden better. Understanding the versatility of InfluxDB at home helped him realize the full potential of InfluxDB in his job.

It’s been a while since I have had the pleasure of announcing a new version of Security Monitoring (September 2018), but today I am doing just that. There is nothing better to inspire spending your evenings coding and playing with Splunk than your partner watching shows that just don’t interest you! For my UK friends, yes ‘Love Island’ is that show and for my more international friends "look it up!". So, what updates did I bring?

During their time at theCUBE, some of our executives talk about what Data-to-Everything really means, and how our latest product releases help organizations bring data to more questions, decisions and actions. Here are their insights.

Generally, 2009 to 2019 were 10 golden years for manufacturers worldwide. After the swift recovery from the economic and financial crisis in 2008/09, many manufacturers have been enjoying double-digit order intake growth, increasing revenues and profits for over a decade.
