In my last post, I talked about the evolution of infrastructure as code and its role in modern software development. To recap, let's take a quick look back at what an IaC process establishes: in a nutshell, IaC is a methodology that enables you to manage your servers and deploy your applications purely through code. Through some configuration language saved to a file, you define the resources and packages that servers need.
What is Istio? Istio is a service mesh technology adding an abstraction layer to the network. It intercepts all or part of the traffic in a k8s cluster and executes a set of operations on it. Which operations are supported? For example, setting up smart routing or implementing a circuit breaker approach, setting up “canary deployment”. Moreover, Istio makes possible imposing a limit on external interactions and controlling all routes between the cluster and an external network.
Today, we live in a world in which, the use of new technology is greatly enhancing the ability to communicate with each other. The Internet has been globalized very fast and relationships are continuously changing and evolving in all areas.
Success in business hinges on making the right decisions at the right time. You can only make smart decisions, however, if you also have the insights you need at the right time. When the right time is right now, outlier detection can help you chart a better course for your company as storms approach – or as the currents of business shift in your favor. In either case, quick detection and analysis can enable you to adjust your course in time to generate more revenue or avoid losses.
5G is here and is widely expected to be a transformative communications technology for the next decade. This new data network will enable never-before-seen data transfer speeds and high-performance remote computing capabilities. Such vast, fast networks will need dedicated tools and practices to be managed, including AI and machine learning processes that will ensure efficient management of network resources and flexibility to meet user demands.
Recycling is an important part of my family’s weekly chore patterns. Our Amazon deliveries alone generate copious amounts of cardboard for our weekly pickup in the giant blue can. I also find myself trying to think about the longevity of the stuff I buy and try not to be wasteful. I feel a sense of pride. But there is one area where I just don’t think recycling makes sense -- and that’s with software (that’s in addition to underwear and toothbrushes, of course…).
Our Free Plan allows monitoring of up to 60 websites. So why would you want to pay for a Pro Plan if you only need to monitor a few websites? Read on to see the kick-ass Pro features that are most useful for micro users...
Logging is an essential part of application development, monitoring, and debugging. There are countless libraries, frameworks, and services for logging backend and server-based applications. But for client-side applications, especially JavaScript-based web applications, it’s a different story. As we see increasingly complex code running on end user devices, the need to log these applications is also becoming increasingly important.
With Serverless, it’s not the technology that’s hard, it’s understanding the language of a new culture and operational model. Serverless architecture has coined some new terms and, more confusingly, re-used a few older terms with new meanings. This glossary will clarify some of them.
