Monitoring as code with Sensu Go 6

A comprehensive CI/CD initiative should include monitoring and observability. Monitoring as code incorporates the active monitoring of the infrastructure under management, creating a symbiotic relationship in which new metrics and failures are collected and detected automatically in response to code changes and new deployments. Monitoring as code is the key to this unified view of the world and management of the entire application lifecycle.

Combining Progressive Delivery With GitOps And Continuous Delivery

Three phrases keep popping up when talking about modern workflows and development and deployment techniques. We have continuous delivery to automate the complete lifecycle of applications from a commit to a Git repository, all the way until a release is deployable to production. Then we have GitOps to define the desired states of our environments and let the machines handle the converge the actual into the desired state. Finally, there is a lot of focus on different deployment strategies grouped under progressive delivery.

Introducing a New Pull Request Sidebar

Bitbucket Cloud’s pull request sidebar is useful because it displays all the relevant details of the pull request you’re looking at. However, with so much information present, it can be hard to find the information you need. To address feedback we’ve received about its readability and usability, we’ve given it a redesign.

Datadog automatically surfaces actionable insights into your Lambda functions

Serverless platforms like AWS Lambda have helped accelerate application development by removing the need to provision and manage infrastructure resources. However, serverless architecture presents new monitoring challenges. Because AWS Lambda handles underlying infrastructure for you, you don’t have access to system-level metrics. Instead, you have to monitor your Lambda functions for insight into their performance and resource usage.

Monitor your NVIDIA Jetson IoT devices with Datadog

NVIDIA Jetson is a family of embedded, low-power computing boards designed to support machine learning and AI applications at the edge. Organizations use Jetson boards for complex video and image processing and analysis, automating build processes in factories, and improving city infrastructures. For example, Jetson-based devices enable cities to analyze traffic patterns with their existing traffic cameras in order to find ways to improve their most congested intersections.

Creating your first health alarm in Netdata

The per-second metrics and interactive visualizations in the Netdata Agent don’t mean much if you don’t know what you should be looking at, or whether anything is going wrong on your node in the first place. That’s why Netdata has a built-in health watchdog to notify you when metrics show an anomaly or full-blown incident that demands your immediate attention. Every Netdata Agent comes with hundreds of preconfigured charts that you don’t need to edit in order to take advantage of, but you may want to create your own based on your infrastructure, node, workload, or applications.
