Service mesh provides a dedicated network for service-to-service communication in a transparent way. Istio aims to help developers and operators address service mesh features such as dynamic service discovery, mutual transport layer security (TLS), circuit breakers, rate limiting, and tracing. Jaeger with Istio augments monitoring and tracing of cloud-native apps on a distributed networking system.
Amazon recently announced EventBridge to much fanfare. Although, in truth, it’s a rebranding of the existing CloudWatch Events service, along with some new features. But rebranding might be exactly what this old dog needs!
Many organizations are transitioning to DevOps, a software practice where developers both write and operate their code. This transition is often driven by digital transformation and the need to innovate faster while being always on, 24/7. But what does DevOps have to do with diversity, inclusion, and belonging?
Our databases are the ones that keep the Internet alive. There has even been talk for some years about the development of operating systems with which users do not have direct contact with the files, but their personal files are stored in a local DB. In fact, we already see how there are online services that do this for us, such as Google Drive or Nextcloud, the latter written under free license Affero.
The Velocity conference happened recently, and as part of it we (Honeycomb) hosted a sort of reverse-panel discussion, where you talked, and we listened. You may be aware that we’re in the process of developing a maturity model for the practice of observability–and we’re taking every opportunity we have to ask questions and get feedback from those of you who are somewhere along the path.
As your application grows in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage the number of logs it generates and the cost of ingesting, processing, and analyzing them. Organizations often have little control over fluctuations in the volume of logs generated—and the resulting costs of collecting them—so they are forced to limit the number of logs generated by their applications, or to pre-filter logs before sending them to their log management platform.
Network Performance Monitoring is currently available in private beta. Request access here. Your applications and infrastructure components rely on one another in an increasingly complex fabric, regardless of whether you run a monolithic application or microservices, and whether you deploy to cloud infrastructure, private data centers, or both.
At Dash 2019, we are excited to share a number of new products and features on the Datadog platform.

User Activity Monitoring (UAM) tracks the behavior of internal end-users—employees, subcontractors, partners, and so on—on a company’s networks, devices, and other IT resources. UAM, sometimes also called employee monitoring, may be deployed for a number of reasons, such as providing insight into the productivity of both individual employees and the company as a whole. Is Employee X spending too much time browsing the internet for non-business purposes during work time?
