Thousands of developers work in Raygun every day. But as the number of team members added to your organization grows, it can be tough to make sure only plan Owners have access to major plan settings in Raygun. Starting today, if you are a plan Owner, granular permissions will help you gain more control over who has access to key Raygun settings at the product, app and plan level.
Making Node.js applications quick and sturdy is a tricky task to get right. Nailing the performance just right with the V8 engine Node.js is built on is not at all as simple as one would think. JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, where you let the interpreter assign types to variables. If you’re not careful this can lead to memory leaks.
What is the most important feature your Node.js application can have? Do you think it’s having fancy fuzzy logic for your full-text search, or maybe using sockets for real-time chats? You tell me. What’s the fanciest, most amazing and sexy feature you can add to your Node.js application?
Node.js monitoring is a tricky task. There are certain challenges to look out for. Because Node.js is a dynamically typed programming language and single-threaded you give the interpreter and runtime a lot of freedom to make decisions. This can easily result in memory leaks and high CPU loads. Parallel execution is simulated in Node.js by using asynchronous execution of functions. But, if a single function blocks the thread or event queue, the application performance will take a huge hit.
The situation is all too familiar: You get an alert. You look at your metrics and your dashboards to try and find out what the cause might be and when the incident actually started (instead of when the alert happened). Then you have to go somewhere else to look at logs because eventually you need more data.
We all want better results with less effort. Automation increases reliability and improves quality. These truths mean that every software company out there is trying to accomplish a similar end result for their customers. But let's face it - no single company is going to get there alone, it's too big a job for just one tool. Your best option is to use the best tools for their specific feature sets... but make sure they play well together, in order to get the results you want.
Last week I told Blerim that Icinga came to life on 6.5.2009 … really, 10 years already? A small group of Nagios community members stood up and wanted to create more than a monitoring core with an enhanced web interface. APIs, integrations, backends, scaling, metrics, … A lot of passion and love was received from the community and actually, the Nagios ecosystem became more active again.
PagerDuty is excited to participate in ServiceNow’s Knowledge19 event in Las Vegas this week. As a ServiceNow Gold Technology Partner, this is an event our team looks forward to all year because it gives us a chance to connect with many of our shared customers who depend on ServiceNow for critical parts of their operations. This year is even more exciting for us since we’re launching the newest version of our ServiceNow integration for HybridOps teams.
For years, traditional infrastructure provisioning and management followed a specific operating model that depended on Network Operations Centers (NOCs) to process operational events. As enterprise companies started to undergo digital transformation, the cloud created a different operating model: One that was much more agile and, some would argue, more efficient—and would replace all other operating models to create IT homogeneity.
Over the last year or so, I experimented with different ways of getting customer feedback for Checkly. This post is about what worked for us and how I was totally wrong about chat widgets.
