Easily Query Multiple Metrics in Prometheus

In monitoring setups, working with a single metric rarely tells the complete story. The real power of Prometheus lies in its ability to query multiple metrics simultaneously, creating connections between different data points that reveal the true state of your systems. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about crafting effective multi-metric queries in Prometheus – from basic concepts to advanced techniques that will help you monitor and troubleshoot your infrastructure.

AI on constrained embedded devices with Ubuntu Core

As AI moves closer to production, running inference on embedded devices is becoming essential, but challenging. In this session, Gabriel Aguiar Noury (Product Manager at Canonical) explores how snaps and Ubuntu Core simplify the packaging and deployment of AI models on resource-constrained devices, while maintaining security and updatability.

Getting started with Jenkins dashboards

Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), enabling developers to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software projects. Jenkins requires a good layer of visualization as it provides real-time visibility into pipeline performance, build statuses, test results, and deployment progress.

How AI Is Reframing the Software Development Operation Rules

There's a revolution in the making in software development. It's about working smarter. Teams scale without lag and produce consistently high-performing systems. And artificial intelligence is stepping up as a game-changing partner. This shift isn't automation - it's intelligence. AI is bringing sense to complexity, allowing teams to cut through noise and ship quality code. It makes DevOps pipelines stronger than ever. Let's get in there and look at how AI is taking drudgery off the table and redefining operational excellence for the tech stack.

Eliminating Flaky Tests with Traffic Replay

There are few things that can derail developer productivity and undermine your pipeline like a flaky test. Testing is the backbone of a good development process, ensuring that your code is as accurate and usable as possible. When these tests point towards faulty development, the impacts can be significant. This information is predicated on an assumption, however – the assumption that what the test says is accurate.

REST v. GraphQL v. gRPC #speedscale #developers #softwaredevelopment #shorts #softwaretesting #api

When it comes to building APIs and enabling communication between different software components, three prominent architectural styles and frameworks often come up: REST, GraphQL, and gRPC. Each has its own approach, strengths, and weaknesses, making them suitable for different use cases.

Azure DevOps agent pools: diving deeper

Most of the time the build and deployment pipelines we create will run on compute provided by the Azure DevOps cloud and the only decision we need to make is whether to select a Windows or Linux Agent. Sometimes though, the specification for the VM that Azure DevOps spins up may not be right for our needs. We may need more memory or a particular OS version. This is when custom agents and Agent Pools come into play.
