Amazon Web Services (AWS) products can feel countless, and at LogicMonitor, we are working tirelessly to bring monitoring support to as many of them as possible. With so many products and tools already on your plate, we want to make sure that monitoring is not a hassle, but rather a trusted companion. AWS provides tools that help with application management, machine learning, end-user computing, and much more.

Today, data is invaluable. Many businesses store large amounts of it for everyday operations. Some information is stored in a hierarchical form, but companies must often hold significant amounts of data without any organization. The solution? Microsoft Azure’s Blob Storage. In this article, we’ll consider the key elements of Blob Storage, how it works, and why it’s important.

Google Cloud Provider (GCP) Storage uses buckets to store data. In GCP Storage, you can manage files and folders using the same tools and APIs you use to manage files in a standard container. Using GCP buckets, you can store any type of file, photo, video, or even projects. Essentially, GCP buckets are logical containers for your data. There is no limit to the number of buckets you can create; each bucket can hold any amount of data.

In recent years, Software-Defined WAN Technology (SD-WAN) has changed the way networking professionals secure, manage, and optimize connectivity. As organizations continue to implement cloud applications, conventional backhaul traffic processes are now inefficient and can cause security concerns. SD-WAN is a virtual architecture that enables organizations to use different combinations of transport services that can connect users to applications.

Relational database or non-relational database: which should you use for your projects? It’s a common question. When choosing the database type that’s right for your requirements, it’s important to understand the differences between the two. Both database types are practical in different situations and use cases and have commonalities.

Logging as a Service, or LaaS, is a proven approach to managing and monitoring high-volume log data in modern dynamic environments. LaaS allows companies to manage log data regardless of whether it comes from applications, servers, or devices. With LaaS, companies can more easily aggregate and collate data, scale and manage storage requirements, set up notifications and alerts, and analyze data and trends. It also allows teams to customize dashboards, reports, and visualizations.

Here at LogicMonitor, we like to experiment and try new things. In fact, one of our core tenets is “better every day”. This means that we’re always hungry to learn new things, experiment, innovate, and take chances. One thing we’ve been experimenting with lately (and loving!) is the Quarkus framework. We love how lightweight it is and that it’s built from the ground up with Kubernetes in mind.
