With AWS Lambda, deploying a new version of our application has never been simpler. However, we still need to take care of some underlying plumbing. Such as managing the configuration for our functions as well as other related resources such as API Gateway, CloudWatch log groups and IAM policies. Depending on the event sources you would like to use, you also need to provision the necessary EventSourceMapping in order to use Lambda with the likes of Kinesis Streams and SQS.

When we announced the launch of our Postmortem Guide, I wrote about the value of performing blameless postmortems and how to establish a culture of continuous learning. In this final installment of our blog series on postmortems, I share how to have effective postmortem meetings.

Last month OpsRamp delivered our Winter release, which introduced several innovations for digital operations management, including: Impact Visibility and Service Context, AIOps for Proactive IT Operations, Cloud Native Monitoring and Event Management

Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree now officially supports stakeholder notifications! With stakeholder notifications it’s easy to keep executives, product managers, or other individuals informed of the status of ongoing incidents.

As application architecture moves from monoliths to microservices, observability has become a growing challenge. The services that make up a distributed application, and the many dependencies and communication pathways between them, are difficult to govern and observe. You can get more control and visibility of your application by including a service mesh—a layer of infrastructure that manages traffic among microservices.

In the new cloud-native world, ephemeral services like containers make security a challenging task. As enterprises start adopting containers in production, they suffer from a great deal of variance in the software, configuration, and other static artifacts that exist across their organization’s container image set.

Infrastructure Monitoring refers to the constant tracking, collection and analysis of data about the infrastructure/server. Using this data, you can monitor the performance and the behavior of the hosts at the infrastructure level. You can also identify the issues that are of concern. For instance, you can periodically check and monitor the health of the hosts and if any slow downs occur, it’s easy to alert the users.
