Monitoring your on-premise or hybrid infrastructure means keeping track of potentially thousands of devices, any one of which could be a point of failure. Additionally, silos between application and network teams can create visibility gaps that complicate troubleshooting. For network engineers investigating bottlenecks, being able to view real-time infrastructure health and performance data alongside application metrics is essential for ensuring their organizations meet key SLOs.

Ever since CircleCI introduced webhooks, I have been excited about the possibilities this new way of integration opens up to developers. I decided to try out one of the use cases described in the webhooks documentation. This use case involves transmitting information about build-pipeline workflows into an Airtable database. The data piped into Airtable forms a log for you to monitor your workflows and you can go as far as designing graphs and other visualizations to analyze the build data.

Gartner breaks down modernizing I&O into five key focus areas you won’t want to miss. Unsure of how to keep-up with infrastructure reliability in an ever-changing, hybrid world? With so many cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) available, do you find yourself asking, ‘How can I make sure my data center infrastructure and its operations are maximized and successful?’ If you are feeling a little challenged in any of these areas, this report will be informative.

I love what we are building here at Shipa, and I couldn’t be more proud of all the great things the team is constantly delivering, but one thing I like is having personal projects. These help me keep up to date with technology and learn new things. I try to keep the investment in those projects at a minimum and under control. That goes across both the timing and the resources invested. My most recent project is related to the experience when defining cloud-native applications.

Cloud technology, and applications running in the cloud, are becoming more and more common. With this rise in cloud computing, application development has needed to change as well, resulting in what can be called the cloud-native approach to software development. In this article, you will learn all about cloud-native technology and how cloud-native companies approach building their applications.
