It’s always great to get a shout-out from a customer, so I was thrilled to read a post on “Medium” written by our friends at Workday that talks about BigPanda! In the post, Owen Sullivan, Software Development Manager at Workday, discusses how Workday raised their availability SLA from an already industry-leading 99.5% to 99.7%, and how one of the key drivers they see for delivering on this promise is efficient monitoring.
Mikk and the rest of the dev team at Dashbird have been working overtime this past month, in an effort to rehaul the user experience in the app based on the feedback we are constantly getting. We believe in having an honest and open, two-way street when it comes to communication so I advise each and every one of you to either write us an email via support@dashbird.io or to join our slack channel.

Every second counts, and everyone is waiting on you to tell them what’s happening.
With sessions on cloud, big data, and A.I., to training courses, certifications, and hands-on labs, IBM Think 2019 in San Francisco was full of innovation and learning. From talks on emerging technologies and industry trends, the overall theme of the event was clear – IBM is betting on the next chapter of cloud: multi-cloud, Kubernetes, containers, microservices and open-source.
Executive Summary: Practically unlimited remote desktop support for a one time cost of $125! Really? Sounds like a scam? No, we’ve had this underappreciated feature for years. Time to get the word out on how to take advantage of it!
Lambda@Edge is a compute service that allows you to write JavaScript code that executes in any of the 150+ AWS edge locations making up the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) service. In this post, I’ll provide some background on CDN technologies. I will also build out an application stack that serves country-specific content depending on where the user request originates from.
