Using Logz.io for Spring Boot Logs

We recently wrote a blog with Julien Dubois, a Java Developer Advocate from Microsoft, on how to simplify logging for Spring Boot applications. This is a small preview. Spring Boot is an open source Java framework that makes it easier for developers to create microservices. Azure just announced Azure Spring Cloud, which will help Java engineers on Azure developer Java microservices faster. This blog explores how to simplify logging for Spring Boot applications.

Transforming Engineering at Rollbar

It's been a busy year at Rollbar! While many of the new features we built got all the needed attention (press, blog posts, conferences), the underlying work to transform and modernize our platform might have been less visible. With this blog post I'd like to share with you all the exciting initiatives we launched in this past year and recognize all the deserved credit for all the engineers that worked restlessly to get us where we proudly are today.

When this does occur, the client (or publisher) will experience an HTTP timeout if the request takes more than 2 minutes. This scenario is captured within the Azure Logic Apps documentation.

SolarWinds Papertrail Event Viewer Upgrade
