I hosted a webinar where I covered why logging is important, how to choose a logging provider. And then shared our experience of setting up logging on Kubernetes containers, the Kubernetes logging framework and the logging best practices we’ve implemented internally and supported our customers who run Kubernetes in production.
High-level thinking thrives on interactive reporting. A wealth of data provides great minds with what they need to draw meaningful insights. Teams can then make informed decisions with measurable outcomes. Troubleshooting domain performance and server management both require ample data for root cause analysis. You’re not just looking for downtime. Instead, you’re studying overall performance and tracking incidents as they unfold.
Each November, AWS re:Invent draws thousands of AWS staff, partners, and users to Las Vegas for an intense week featuring all things AWS and AWS-related. As always, Datadog will be there and we’d love to meet you in person. Our engineers are excited to show off the new features they’ve been building and to answer your monitoring questions!
With the TLS connection improvements there was also another bug with hanging TLS connections unveiled. Turns out, this has been sitting there since 2.8.2 and not only affects JSON-RPC cluster connections but also HTTP request sessions, as being used inside the Director kickstart wizard for example.

The GitHub Readme describes Falcon as, "... *a multi-process, multi-fiber rack-compatible HTTP server ... Each request is executed within a lightweight fiber and can block on up-stream requests without stalling the entire server process." The gist: Falcon aims to increase throughput of web applications by using Ruby’s Fibers to be able to continue serving requests while other requests are waiting on IO (ActiveRecord queries, network requests, file read/write, etc).
The world is in a digital revolution, change is happening and with it, new industries are being born. Enterprises in all sectors are creating new and diverse revenue streams and disrupting old and established business models. In fact, I am convinced we are all working and living during one of the largest business revolutions in history.
Last month, we announced Logz.io Security Analytics — a security app built on top of the ELK Stack, offering out-of-the-box security features such as threat intelligence, correlation, and premade integrations and dashboards. In this article, I’d like to show an example of using both the ELK Stack and Logz.io Security Analytics to secure an AWS environment.
When constructing a SaaS application, it’s easy to begin in the wrong place — namely, with architecture. Focusing first on software or architecture seems appealing because everyone is doing it, but trust me, you don’t actually want to start there.
