In this previous article we learned to create our own Docker images to test and distribute our applications regardless of their dependencies. As we know, Docker is a wonderful tool for collaborative programming work, allowing to work in a virtually identical environment regardless of the operating system you are in.

When mission-critical applications were all implemented within your data center, capacity management seemed easy – Most organizations deployed infrastructure sets (compute, network, and storage) to meet their 95 to 99% capacity requirement. For a retailer, that might mean planning around a “Black Friday” date (Cyber-Monday wasn’t around then). For a bank or a manufacturer using ERP or financial systems, this might instead be the end of year close.

“Software is eating the world” is no longer a hopeful vision. It’s happening. It’s here. Software is driving the world’s most important technological trends, and 2020 will prove to be an inflection point for several of them. Underlying the rapid pace of software transformation is another trend that has become immensely popular in itself. The rise of continuous delivery has enabled software companies to turn their ideas into reality faster than ever before.

Since StatsD was introduced by Etsy in 2011, it has become a mainstay of infrastructure monitoring. But as dev and ops teams rely more and more on containerized microservices, they have pushed the limits of StatsD’s design. One major shortcoming is that StatsD has no built-in support for tagging your metrics with key-value pairs.

At Blameless, we drink our own champagne, and aim to adopt a mindset of continuous learning to foster resilience. We believe that the adoption of SRE practices is one of the best ways to get there. Like most organizations, our early efforts to implement SRE were imperfect. However, through hard work, teamwork, and investing in what we believe is the most important feature (reliability), we have made significant changes to how we do SRE. And we’re getting better at it every day.

If you have ever used a search bar on a website, you've probably used Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch is an open-source search and analytics engine used for full-text search as well as analyzing logs and metrics. It allows websites to use autocomplete in text fields, search suggestions, location or geospatial search. Tons of companies use Elasticsearch, including Nike, SportsEngine, Autodesk, and Expedia.
