Communication is one of the hardest things to do well while responding to incidents. At FireHydrant, we’ve focused on helping people communicate well within their teams when responding to incidents, and also after the fact during post-incident reviews. But what about communicating with your customers? During an incident, your customers want to know that you’re aware of the problem and are working to mitigate or resolve it.

Permissions, access controls, user rights, or privileges define what an identity can see or do in an organization. These terms are often used interchangeably based on context, and essentially perform the same function—granting or denying access to the resources in an enterprise.

Hazelcast is a distributed, in-memory computing platform for processing large data sets with extremely low latency. Its in-memory data grid (IMDG) sits entirely in random access memory, which provides significantly faster access to data than disk-based databases. And with high availability and scalability, Hazelcast IMDG is ideal for use cases like fraud detection, payment processing, and IoT applications.

In our previous panel, we spoke about how to overcome imposter syndrome in high tempo situations, and how culture directly affects the availability of our systems. Building on that last discussion, we gathered leading minds in the resilience industry to discuss how SRE can manage systems complexity, and how that's tightly intertwined with business health especially in the context of current health and social crises.

When the entire company is working from home, pair programming is not only possible but even more valuable. If you were practicing it face to face, why not continue remote? If you weren’t, why not try? My team did a series of remote pair programming sessions in during the last month or so, and I want to share a few tips from that experience. If you’ve never tried pair programming before, here’s a good primer.

2020 has been a year of challenges, and across all industries, companies are working hard and fast to remain efficient in the face of a new normal. Now that hiring freezes are slowly thawing out, many companies are starting to hire new people virtually and want to create remote cohesion between new and existing teammates. The lack of physical proximity means your team will need to ramp up on communication, transparency, and accountability.

Hi folks! Éamon here. I’m a recent-ish addition to the Solutions Engineering team and just getting my feet wet on the blogging side so bear with me. :) Back in March, we introduced the Grafana Cloud Agent, a remote_write-focused Prometheus agent. The Grafana Cloud Agent is a subset of Prometheus without any querying or local storage, using the same service discovery, relabeling, WAL, and remote_write code found in Prometheus.

Over the past week, we rolled out access to Advanced Data Scrubbing for all users. If you were one of our Early Adopters, you’ve known about this for a couple of months. As the name implies, it’s an addition to our existing server-side data scrubbing features, meant to provide greater control and more tools to help you choose which data to redact from events. One of Sentry’s main selling points as an error monitoring platform is the data it collects and aggregates.

Web frameworks are powerful tools. They abstract the common aspects of building web sites and APIs and allow us to build richer, more stable applications with less effort. A broad range of web frameworks is available to us in Python. Some are proven favorites with large ecosystems and communities. Others excel in niche use cases or for specific kinds of development. Still, others are up-and-comers with compelling new reasons to be considered.

As a fast-moving startup, you don’t have the luxury of spending days figuring out exactly what you need in a Kubernetes cluster. We’ve been there. To help out, we wrote a whole ebook on the blueprint we followed as we built and deployed our own web app in Kubernetes.
