When we talk about upgrades here at SolarWinds, we spend a lot of time discussing the beneficial features, performance, and capabilities you can gain. That’s not by accident. The honest-to-goodness truth is, the most compelling reason to upgrade ANYTHING—from our phone to our game console to our monitoring software—is because we’ll be able to do something both new and useful to us.

We are delighted to share news of our partnership with leading, real-time Application Performance Monitoring (APM) vendor Cisco AppDynamics and are now a fully-fledged member of their Integration Partner Program (IPP.) For our mutual enterprise customers service affecting issues can lie undetected in the vast volumes of data generated by the multiple, disconnected tools used to monitor their multi-cloud environments, applications and technical solutions.

Datadog’s support of OpenTelemetry—a vendor-agnostic, open source set of APIs and libraries for collecting system and application telemetry data—has helped thousands of organizations implement monitoring strategies that complement their existing workflows. Many of our customers leverage OpenTelemetry for their server- and container-based deployments, but also need visibility into the health and performance of their serverless applications running on AWS Lambda.

I stepped into the role of Head of Engineering for Bitbucket Cloud in late 2020, having served as one of the team's senior engineering managers for several years. It is an honor and a privilege to lead this team, and I couldn't be prouder of the hard work we've done and continue to do each day to make Bitbucket a world-class product empowering teams to build, test, and deploy software to millions of people around the world. It has been an eventful journey, and the past few weeks are no exception.
