Amazon offers two different services, Amazon WorkSpaces and AppStream 2.0, that can be used to deliver apps remotely either streamed via a browser or within a virtual workspace (desktop). Once you understand the differences between the two services the choice is usually clear from the use case. It is in fact common for organizations to use a mixture of both.

You’ve likely heard the term Observability lately. There’s a fundamental change taking place in the Monitoring space, and Observability is behind it. Observability itself is a broad topic, so in this post we’ll talk about what it means to move from Application Performance Monitoring to Application Performance Observability.

Monitoring business-critical applications is just as vital as deploying them since their performance directly impacts your ability to meet business goals. When it comes to the banking industry, ensuring superior application performance of applications is crucial to enabling smooth banking operations. But it’s also complex since banks deploy interconnected applications across on-premise and cloud.

Debugging JavaScript is an inevitable part of web development, and not the nicest one. Debugging jobs always seem to pop up when you’re already buried under piles of work, and a teammate pings you about an issue that was overlooked in testing and has been causing frustrations since your last release. That’s why it helps to be prepared for that eventuality, and equipped with the developer tools to help you debug faster.

Payment gateway outages and performance issues have a disruptive effect on your business. When customers cannot complete a transaction, it leaves them frustrated and anxious. Even if it is not an outright outage, customers are wary of a flaky payment experience. They are often reluctant to retry the transaction for fear of being charged twice. This results in abandoned purchases and lost revenue.

You may not be familiar with thinking about the memory usage of your applications as a software developer. Memory is plentiful and usually relatively fast in today's development world. Likely, the programming language you're using doesn't require you to allocate or free memory on your own. However, this does not mean you are safe from memory leaks. Memory leaks can occur in any application written in any language. Sure, older or "near to the metal" languages like C or C++ have more of them.

Our dashboards enable engineering teams to take quick decisions. So, a good design is critical. We have been busy fine-tuning our dashboards to make them more user-friendly. Welcome to SigNal 11 - our monthly product updates where we update you on what we’ve been up to. Last month, we crossed 6,000+ GitHub stars, 700+ slack community members, jazzed up our graphs, and much more. Let’s see what humans at SigNoz have been up to in the month of March 2022.

Modern applications must deliver not only value but also round-the-clock availability, quick replies, and real-time problem-solving in today's digital economy. Since all businesses rely on software applications, their performance is one of their primary worries and frustrations, especially if their applications are the business itself. This is where Application Performance Monitoring Tool enters the scene.

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the Computer Weekly Developer Network (CWDN) ultimate series on “Infrastructure as Code” that collected articles and overviews from vendors and experts operating in the IaC space to form a formidable reference on all aspects of IaC. My contributions were to offer some insight into our architecture that has been designed to monitor infrastructure that has been deployed as code automatically and without tedious manual configuration.
