Today, large enterprises are using multiple cloud providers and technologies. Enterprises dealing with distributed loads on their on-prem infrastructure, private clouds, and public clouds need teams that are versed in writing different CLI commands and scripts in multiple languages and require specialists in these fields.

Monitoring the health and status of nodes and servers is a critical part of effective infrastructure monitoring.

SD-WAN is a virtual architecture that enables organizations to use different combinations of transport services that can connect users to applications.

For the last few years, many development teams have replaced traditional data centers with cloud-hosted infrastructure. Cloud adoption continues to grow, and teams are updating applications to leverage cloud-based services. But for many organizations, adopting a single cloud provider to host all their applications and data can put their business at risk. To reduce these risks, some organizations are distributing resources across multiple cloud providers in a specifically designed way.

Implementing integrations without a mountain of technical debt can be challenging. But it doesn’t have to be all bugs, burn out, and outages when shipping integrations at a high volume. We’ve unlocked a pattern at FireHydrant to rapidly build and release integrations without swiping the technical debt credit card each time — and that gave us a fastlane to building premier integrations.
