There are so many early serverless adopters and pioneers who many of us in the community know well: AWS heroes, in-demand speakers, and celebrated community organizers with thousands of followers, popular Twitch channels, and full speaking dockets. It’s a fantastic idea to follow these folks because they are known for a reason.We cover them regularly at Stackery!

Splunk is a tech company, which regularly gives us exposure to modern development practices, and the ability to implement them with our own technology. We want to share that with you. In this post, as part of a dogfooding series, I sat down with Ram Jothikumar, Head of Cloud Infrastructure & Operations for Observability at Splunk. Ram and I talk about how we support our SignalFx offering at scale, efficiently with resilience and reliability baked in.

Today, I’m excited to announce the Open Observability Conference – a virtual event on May 27th at 11:00am EDT providing a platform for learning, sharing and discussion of open source observability technologies for DevOps teams around the globe. Register for the Open Observability Conference here.

May 1, 2020 By Eugen Cusmaunsa (@armab) and @punkrokk It happened! After a long wait, we’re more than excited to announce the StackStorm v3.2.0 release. The StackStorm project has had some turbulent times since the previous release almost one year ago. The new v3.2.0 version is the first release since the project joined the Linux Foundation, formed new Governance, and gathered a new team of Maintainers. Considering the amount of changes happened, it looks like a big restart for the project.

When businesses have a high number of computers, getting all of them turned on manually can be a herculean task for any network admin. This can lead to organizations keeping their computers on even when not in use. Of course, this approach is not ideal, as electricity bills would skyrocket in result. That said, there are legitimate reasons for a network admin to leave a machine running after business hours (e.g., system maintenance or configuration management).
