Scaling Up, One Network Bottleneck at a Time #shorts #datadog

Processing data at scale involves moving packets through a network—but what happens when that network isn't cooperative? Anatole Beuzon, a Software Engineer at Datadog, discusses how he investigated and resolved network issues in Datadog’s larger data-processing apps and how you can apply these same methods to your own production workloads.

Three Pillars of Observability [And Beyond]

Observability is often defined in the context of three pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. Modern-day cloud-native applications are complex and dynamic. To avoid surprises and performance issues, you need a robust observability stack. But is observability limited to collecting logs, metrics, and traces? How is observability evolving to make our systems more observable? In this tutorial, we cover.

Detecting PowerShell Exploitation

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. Hackers are continuously finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise systems. PowerShell, a powerful scripting language and automation framework developed by Microsoft, has unfortunately become a favored tool among attackers due to its capability to run.NET code and execute dynamic code downloaded from another system (or the internet) and execute it in memory without ever touching disk.

Building an Internal Development Platform (IDP): A Journey of Innovation and Growth #shorts

As your organization grows, the increased number of engineers and services can put a strain on your infrastructure and ops teams. As Latin America’s largest online commerce and payments ecosystem, MercadoLibre needed to solve this scaling challenge. So we embarked on a mission to build an Internal Development Platform (IDP). We’ll highlight our transformative journey and how the IDP grew to manage over 26,000 microservices, while delivering a highly productive environment to MercadoLibre’s 12,000+ developers. In this session, you’ll learn about the challenges and solutions required to successfully build your own IDP.

5 Ways AIOps Monitoring Benefits EUC Environments

The adoption of AIOps monitoring technologies has been somewhat slower in EUC than many other areas of IT. The legacy VDI and DaaS vendor tools set expectations low for many. It is still relatively common for us to come across potential customers who are using legacy tools and manually exporting 6 months of data into an excel spreadsheet to try and work out average and peak usage of resources such as CPU to then manually calculate alert thresholds.

Using OpenTelemetry Collector Loki Receiver to Send Logs to SigNoz [Code Tutorial]

In this tutorial, you will learn how to collect logs using the Loki receiver in OpenTelemetry Collector to send logs to SigNoz. If you’re using Promtail to collect logs, you can send them to SigNoz instead of Loki via the OpenTelemetry Collector. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.
