Answer to the Ultimate Question of (On-Call) Life, the Universe, and Everything: 71

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a group of scientist mice built a mega-computer named “Deep Thought” to Answer “The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.” After 7.5 million years, the machine produced “42.” At PagerDuty, we did something similar, except we didn’t have scientist mice or wait 7.5 million years.

New generation of web servers based on HTTP/2 and with TLS by default: " Caddy Web Server".

As we all know, Pandora FMS allows the monitoring of practically any device or application. Let’s talk about web content servers. Even the very popular applications or “apps”, made for the Android operating system of our phones, generally use API commands, which are also hosted on web servers to take advantage of the secure protocol (HTTPS).

Careful Data Science with Scala

Data science and machine learning have gotten a lot of attention recently, and the ecosystem around these topics is moving fast. One significant trend has been the rise of data science notebooks (including our own here at Sumo Logic): interactive computing environments that allow individuals to rapidly explore, analyze, and prototype against datasets.

Virtual Offsites: A Collaboration Approach For Distributed Teams

Once a year, PagerDuty’s SREs get together for a three-day, in-person offsite. With the team spread across three time zones in the U.S. and Canada, encompassing two offices and three remote members, face time is rare and valuable. We use our offsites for thoughtful discussions on team health, long-term project roadmap planning, refining and updating our team’s mission, and to simply spend time together as a team.

Predicting The Next Big Wave of DevOps Cultural Transformation

We read with interest a recent article from CloudBees published in The New Stack: How Culture Will Make or Break Cloud Native DevOps and have seen some highly differing views on where the adoption of DevOps is. The Cloudbees article starts by saying that “Software delivery cycles are becoming faster thanks to DevOps-backed continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) as production pipelines are increasingly ported to scale with microservices on cloud-native environments.”

Change is in the air. BigPanda can help you embrace it.

It’s time for change – my first insight from GartnerIO, 2018. During my flight to Vegas I remembered that this was probably my 15th visit to a conference in Vegas (but who can really count…after a few, it all starts to blur together). What I do remember though is that, in each of these conferences, there was one very shiny buzzword. The reason I remember this so well is because, while everyone agreed on what the buzzword was, there was no consensus on what that word meant!
