Is your Java Observability tool Lambda Expressions aware?

Most SREs and IT Ops manage Java applications without source code access or communication with AppDev teams. When applications have performance issues those SREs or IT Ops teams deploying and maintaining the infrastructure often have to prove that it is the application at fault and supply information to the app supplier which provides evidence of the issue.

OpenTelemetry vs Jaeger : Comparing Apple and Oranges

Open telemetry works with all the three signals i.e. it help in generating all the three signals while Jaeger only focuses on one signal (traces). The second key difference is Jaeger doesn't worry about generating data. It's more focused on the UI visualization long term storage of traces data while OpenTelemetry primarily focused on generating traces data.

Symbolicating stack traces from Apple system libraries

In the world of software development, quickly finding and fixing errors drives better experiences for both end-users and developers. One key tool in this process is the symbol map, which records debugging information that was lost in the compilation process. Symbol maps (or source maps if we're talking JavaScript) connect the code developers write to the minified code in production, making it easier to decipher crashes by pinpointing the exact source code that caused the error.

Mocha vs Jasmine, Chai, Sinon & Cucumber in 2024

Javascript has been enabling browsers for years, and for better or for worse, the internet is made of JS. NodeJS brought it to the server side. TypeScript has wrapped familiar object-oriented, statically-typed syntax around it. Anywhere you look, you’ll find Javascript: on the client, server, mobile, and embedded systems.

Datadog on Kubernetes Node Management #datadog #kubernetes #observability #infrastructure #shorts

Datadog, the observability platform used by thousands of companies, runs on dozens of self-managed Kubernetes clusters in a multi-#cloud environment, adding up to tens of thousands of nodes, or hundreds of thousands of pods. This infrastructure is used by a wide variety of engineering teams at Datadog, with different feature and capacity needs.

Detect and diagnose purchase abandonment with automation

By using the Experience Journey Map, users can quickly see where in the browser and mobile journey users are dropping, or where in the conversion process are users most likely having issues. Dive deeper into what may be an underlying cause, perhaps geographic or by device type rather than due to an application fault. Reduce the amount of investigative work and fix what matters most importantly, by pinpointing where and why the user experiences issues.
