In a world where consumer-level computing technology has been largely dominated by Windows, many users remain unaware of the need for administrators to configure and maintain network hardware and environments based on the Linux operating system. But Linux in its various distributions and the Unix operating system from which they derive have for decades provided the backbone for the core systems that make consumer-level computing and indeed many aspects of daily life possible.

Back in the days of the wild wild web (www) and post JQuery era, one web framework stood above all others: AngularJS. A “ring to rule them all”, AngularJS consolidated quite a few micro-frameworks and provided many extensibility points of expansion if needed. Over time though, many performance and architectural questions began to arise, to the point of no return – when the guys @Google decided to migrate from AngularJS to Angular (a poor naming decision).

When developing PHP applications, error logs are under-used because of their apparent complexity. PHP error logs are helpful, especially when configured and used properly.

Even after being in business for 9 years, I still wanted to keep everything: every email, every note, every design draft or mockup — all the small things that helped Monitive evolve into what it is today. Storage is not an issue these days, and by the looks of where technology is headed, that trend will not change anytime soon. There’s just one catch.

Kubernetes clusters can manage large numbers of unrelated workloads concurrently and organizations often choose to deploy projects created by separate teams to shared clusters. Even with relatively light use, the number of deployed objects can quickly become unmanageable, slowing down operational responsiveness and increasing the chance of dangerous mistakes.

The secret to exceptional network management is periodically identifying and diagnosing network problems. Putting your experts at the network operations center (NOC) all day watching for a device to go down isn’t the best use of your workforce’s time. There has to be a smarter way to view potential network pitfalls without being glued to the chair in your NOC.

Stop the presses! We've just added a small but really cool new feature to your Honeybadger account: search key autocomplete. You've always been able to search your errors by params, session and other nested fields. It's easy to find all errors where params.user.name is bob. But there's a catch.
