gRPC is a remote procedure call framework that has been widely adopted among cloud native applications. It is an attractive choice for engineers needing more capabilities than what REST APIs provide. However, observability and testing tools for gRPC are few and far between. Because of this, triaging or understanding application behavior is potentially time-consuming and overly burdensome.

Suppose you've built a web application and started getting a few customers. After some feedback and iterations, you are ready with a product that people want. From now, your application is drawing attention to more and more users, with more and more requests per minute (RPM). Suddenly, a wave of new people use your app, and at one point, they can't use it anymore. While testing your app, you realize that it's working correctly. So what happened? You are simply facing a scalability problem.

A summary of the Log4j vulnerability, and key takeaways for SREs.

Data visualization is the process of translating large data sets and metrics into charts, graphs, and other visuals. The resulting visual representation of data makes it easier to identify and share real-time trends, outliers, and new insights about the information represented in the data. Using CircleCI webhooks, we can gather data on workflow and job events. In this tutorial, I will lead you through the steps to create a React-based dashboard to visualize this data.

Software applications consist of interconnected systems - each providing a specialized service towards the common goal of meeting a business need. As with any network, an efficient data exchange mechanism is key to its functionality, effectiveness, and responsiveness. In the past, data exchange was performed using polling requests. At regular intervals, a system would make a request to get the latest information or find out if there is an update to deal with.

JFrog has been hard at work behind the scenes restructuring how we share information with the developer community. We wanted to create a one-stop resource for developers who code in a variety of languages, with a focus on DevOps, DevSecOps, and cloud native technologies. So without further ado … let me introduce you to our new JFrog Community site!
