The GitKraken Git Client was one of the first software products of its kind to hit the market in August 2014, built by Axosoft developers who were on a mission to find a Git GUI that didn’t suck. One that could quickly show who was doing what, to which file, on any project; one that could help expedite individual workflows and improve team collaboration; one that visually blew the minds of everyone who interacted with it.
It’s remarkable to me how many developers have no idea what their time is worth. I speak with a lot of developers, and when I mention my work on TrackJS, I frequently hear “I could build that”. Yeah, you could. Observability tools aren’t rocket science. But you shouldn’t. Your time is too valuable to build better mousetraps. Your time is valuable and finite. Both to you and to your company.
Today, we will dive into Typespecs and Behaviours. These are two Elixir features that we are ecstatic (pun intended) about. They are great examples of built-in features in Elixir that help get some of the advantages of statically typed code. Alright, let’s set the scene. Elixir is a dynamically typed language. This means that the type of each variable is not checked at compile-time, but rather at run-time. Like most things, this comes with advantages and disadvantages.
For many organizations, messaging-based collaboration isn’t just the most efficient way to work with internal teammates. It may also be the easiest way to communicate with people outside your organization as well.

Today, it’s a common practice to SSL-enable web applications and websites. It’s beneficial for SEO and it is also needed for compliance. Many regulatory compliance standards mandate that websites are using SSL certificates. A key part of SSL-enabling a website is the configuring the SSL certificate.
I remember with some nostalgia the five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy disks, and then the more robust three-and-a-half-inch floppy disks. I shouldn’t even write the word rigid anymore, but you’ve got me: it’s for younger people to ask: “But how many kinds of disk are there?
In any platform of sufficient complexity, multiple anomalies are likely to occur. For many organizations, NOC operators triage multiple anomalies based on their severity. There are internal, non-customer-facing issues that might affect only a small part of your workforce and one-time issues that affect only a small number of customers. Both of the issues get ticketed and sent to low-level support.
Webhooks allow third-party services to send updates through events and deliver real-time information to OpsRamp via HTTP requests. When an event gets triggered, an HTTP POST payload is sent to the configured webhook URL and custom logic associated with the webhook gets executed.
