Serverless is an incredible paradigm, but performance tuning sometimes feels like a black box. You have no control over the infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t optimize. In this post, let’s look at five ways to take serverless performance to the next level.

What is vulnerability management and how to approach it from the IT asset management point of view.

Mainframes are the workhorses of many enterprise systems, known for their reliability and ability to handle high transaction volumes. However, as technology evolves, even these robust systems need upgrades to keep up with modern demands. A smooth mainframe upgrade isn’t just about upgrading the core system; it’s also about ensuring that the surrounding infrastructure, including messaging systems like IBM MQ, functions seamlessly during and after the upgrade.

Automating the monitoring process for a huge amount of servers, virtual machines, applications, services, private and public clouds is a main driver for users when they decide to use Icinga. In fact, monitoring large environments is not a new demand for us at all. We experienced this challenge in tandem with many corporations for many years.

About a year and a half ago, I decided to take a different approach to setting up a Zephyr environment for a new project at Intercreate. Instead of using my trusty VMWare Workstation Linux VM, I opted for WSL2. I was curious to find out: Would hardware pass-through for debugging work reliably? Would all of the tooling dependencies be supported? What about build system performance?

We're excited to share that AppSignal has once again been recognized as one of the top performance and error monitoring tools in the 2024 Ruby on Rails Community Survey. This year, we maintained our position as the fifth most popular performance monitoring tool and climbed from seventh to fourth place in the error tracking rankings. This result means that AppSignal now stands shoulder-to-shoulder alongside some much larger competitors that are backed by a combined $600 million in venture capital funding.

Frontend development has evolved rapidly over the past decade, but one challenge remains constant: understanding what’s happening in real-time across diverse browsers, environments, and user interactions. This is where observability steps in—but how does it apply to the frontend world where user experience can break in countless, unexpected ways?

With a growing network sector, flourishing digital landscape, and exciting growth targets, there’s never been a better time to expand your business to Italy. Italy has long been known for its rich history, culture, cuisine, and natural beauty. But beyond tourism, Italy is an economic powerhouse and a growing player in the global tech scene. In recent years the country has experienced impressive growth, emerging as one of the largest economies in Europe.

Today Canonical announced the release of Ubuntu 24.10, codenamed “Oracular Oriole,” available to download and install from ubuntu.com/download. Ubuntu 24.10 delivers the latest kernel, toolchains and GNOME 47 desktop environment alongside significant improvements to software security.

In pursuit of open source sustainability, Canonical is a committed contributor to the development of Valkey. Following our mission to amplify the impact of open source and enable a broad diversity of open source communities to collaborate under the Ubuntu umbrella, we’re pleased to announce that Valkey is now included in Ubuntu. Valkey is included in Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Nombat) and will be included in future releases.
