“All code and no logging makes John a black box error-prone system.” Logging is a key aspect of monitoring, troubleshooting and debugging your code. Not only does it make your project’s underlying execution more transparent and intelligible, but also more accessible in its approach.

Container use continues to grow, and Kubernetes is the most widely adopted container orchestration system, managing nearly half of all container deployments.1 Successful integration of container services within the enterprise depends heavily on access to external resources such as databases, cloud services, third-party application programming interfaces (APIs), and other applications. All this egress activity must be controlled for security and compliance reasons.

Forecasting health is vital in today's society. Who has the highest risk of getting a virus? Are you able to predict when this will happen? Knowing answers to these questions could save many lives. Forecasting the health of IT infrastructures is equally essential. Think of identifying databases that are about to stop serving requests in a timely matter, hard drives that are about to run out of space, or Service-level agreements (SLA's) that are about to cross the set thresholds.
