Software is a complex thing. As soon as you deploy an application to production—especially when you don’t have any control over the environment it’s running on—anything could happen. You’ve created this “monster” and set if free. It’s now free from your control. How do you tame this beast before it creates havoc? The first step is to trace its steps (no pun intended).
While Blockchain technology offers unprecedented security solution and information sharing solution, it remained as of now mostly limited to the cryptocurrencies. While cryptocurrencies made Blockchain their core technology strength, other industries remained mostly silent bystanders.
A container is a type of an operating system virtualization which helps in the efficient running of applications across platforms with minimum consumption of resources. As a matter of fact, a single container can be used to run anything from necessary executables to libraries, configuration files or even basic or advanced binary codes. Containers are lightweight and portable, a major point to consider while deploying them in cloud.
In July 2019, OpsRamp launched the new Partner Program to help reseller, service provider, and system integration partners build expertise around multi-cloud infrastructure monitoring and modern incident management. July was also a month of industry recognition, with CRN naming OpsRamp as an emerging vendor in the Cloud category. Our resident experts continued to contribute to industry publications with several articles and podcasts.
Test automation plays a significant role in software development. It improves speed, better detects errors and bugs, is repeatable, scalable, has broader coverage, and more. Let’s take a look at test automation using a CI/CD pipeline. In today’s competitive world, great speed in developing software, features, and fixes are vital.
08 Aug 2019 We've just released another major new feature - global monitoring locations! We now provide website checks from 6 locations worldwide: Australia, Canada (east), Germany, India, UK and USA (west). Read on to see how it works, why it's useful and how to get started...
It's no secret that the popularity of running containerized applications has exploded over the past several years. Being able to iterate and release an application by provisioning its dependencies through code is a big win. According to Gartner, “More than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production” by 2022.
Have you been attending Stackery’s Serverless Summer School? As a non-engineer, I’ll admit, I was a little nervous. Was it going to be over my head? Would I spend the entire Twitch stream furiously writing down all the terms I didn’t know so that I could ask about them later? Would my brain need some debugging after trying to download a bunch of information that I didn’t really get?
We're excited to announce that we've shipped some nice improvements to our broken links & mixed content checks. These checks both make use of the crawler that powers those features. When we first launched Oh Dear!, we decided to limit the crawls to the first 1.000 unique pages we find. This was mostly a protection for infinite loops, since those are really hard to detect.
Developer teams and even operational teams often ignore monitoring applications. Deadlines, inexperience, company culture, and management can lead to poor or neglected monitoring inside developing platforms. Automating all monitoring tasks is an excellent way to avoid this scenario. Automation leads to lower costs, less time spent solving issues, and more efficient teams.
