We’re happy to announce a new update release this month of our VMware Management Pack for SCOM 2012, 2016, 180x, 1901 & 2019.

You probably use many tools to get you through the day. Do you ever wonder what tools get other people through their days? In our Tools This Engineer Uses series, we explore the routines, systems, and tools your peers rely on to solve problems and accomplish goals.

So you have a Grafana dashboard that shows failures at 0.01% and that latency is down throughout the company. But rather than get a pat on the back, “your boss’s boss is saying cut the crap or stop the mumbo jumbo. What does it really mean for our business?” said Peter Zaitsev, CEO of Percona, which offers solutions such as support, management services, consultant training, and custom engineering for MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Postgres and other open source databases.

In our previous post about containers and microservices, we covered the challenges of monitoring these new technologies as well as how you can use software-defined IT operations tools to overcome them. The recently released Forrester Research report, Monitoring Containerized Microservices?

If I’m used to metrics, how should I think about events in Honeycomb? This question cuts to the heart of how Honeycomb is different from other vendors in the APM and metrics space who claim to provide tools that help teams achieve observability, and we hear variations on it fairly often.

It’s time to talk about the everyday challenges of serverless. Whenever I scroll through the latest blog posts on serverless it feels like there are only two types of problems in the field: how do I get started and how do I architect my solution. But what about all the day-to-day problems that developers and DevOps encounter when dealing with serverless? From simple deployment issues like protecting your stack from deletion to stress-testing your solution using serverless techniques.

Perhaps you came upon this post while looking at ways to improve Symfony performance. Or maybe you read our comparison of Laravel and Symfony and want to know more. You could have gotten here because you want to write a performant app from the start. Then again, you could just love reading all of Stackify’s blog posts. And who could blame you? However you got to this post, or whatever goals you may have, I’m here to talk to you about Symfony performance tuning.

The rise of the hybrid enterprise is wreaking havoc on IT teams. IT service/operations management (ITSM/ITOM) is more challenging than ever, as infrastructure continues to become more complex, more involved, and more resource-intensive.

As industries shift to a microservices approach of deploying applications using containers, data scientists can reap the benefits. Data Scientists use specific frameworks and operating systems that can often conflict with the requirements of a production system. This has led to many clashes between IT and R&D departments. IT is not going to change the OS to meet the needs of a model that needs a specific framework that won’t run on RHEL 7.2.

Last night we rolled out some new very inexpensive Micro Pro Plans. We've always provided a basic Free Plan alongside Pro Plans which have powerful features and allow monitoring of many websites.
