As networks become more distributed and complex, it’s becoming ever more challenging for IT professionals to track all the events happening on their networks. Still, it’s vitally important to do so—logging activity on an agency’s network is critical to determining who’s on the network, what applications they’re using, and whether those applications can compromise the network and user data.

Customer engagement with your company’s site and applications is critical to your business. That’s why the performance of those transactions is equally important. Customers need to be able to log in to your application. Prospects need to download your newest whitepaper. Site visitors need to register for your latest webinar. And most importantly, shoppers want to checkout seamlessly.

In today’s Tip of the Day, I’ll be going over what’s new in our latest release “Yosemite”, named after Yosemite Falls, located in California’s Yosemite National Park.

AWS API Gateway is a great service but can be quite expensive, and even cost-prohibitive in some cases. An Application Load Balancer is a viable alternative since it integrates seamlessly with Lambda functions and is also highly scalable and reliable.
