With only a week to go before the start of the 2022 American Solar Challenge (ASC), here’s a good luck shout out to the University of Calgary Solar Car team! Their race car, the Schulich Elysia, not only looks stunning, it also packs a powerful solar battery that can store up to 18 kWh of energy, enough to drive the car over 300 km when there’s no sunlight. Percepio is immensely proud that our Tracealyzer tool has been involved in perfecting this battery technology.

The Internet of Things (IoT) can be found in a diverse range of devices, including fleets of autonomous vehicles, automobiles, planes, electric charging stations, and voice controllers. These devices are embedded with gateways, electronics, actuators, platform hubs, and cloud-service connectivity, enabling them to exchange data across the physical, network, and application layers that constitute IoT architecture.

Few people can claim the moniker of “pioneer” in building the internet as we know it. Rami Rahim, CEO of Juniper Networks, is one of them who had a front-row seat in the late 90s to the infant days of building the internet. At the time, I along with other Silicon Valley CEOs, was frantically building out web 1.0 companies, which required a grueling DIY business creation approach.

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the most commonly used metric for measuring data center energy efficiency. It was developed by The Green Grid in 2007 and has been widely popular ever since due to growing concerns of the sustainability of data centers and for being able to represent overall efficiency with one easy-to-understand number.

Terraform combined with Qovery is like giving superpower to DevOps and developers. I am super excited to launch a brand new GitHub repository with "ready-to-use" examples to deploy crazy AWS cloud architecture with Terraform and Qovery. Feel free to use them, modify them and share them with us and our community.

In part one of our PHP logging blog series, we discussed what logging is and covered the basics of creating logs in PHP applications using the PHP system logger. While the PHP system logger automatically records critical events like errors in code-execution, a more customized logging setup can be achieved using PHP functions. For part two, let's look at the basics of creating custom error logs by calling PHP functions.

As we all know that the barcode was invented in 1966 And utilized in business but it was widely used after 1970. However, it became a revolutionary asset tracking technology as it was effective and helpful in keeping track of inventory and assets. Later barcode inventory management system was built to improve data accuracy and its advanced version QR (Quick Response) Code is also launched which was also successful among businesses for asset tracking and marketing purpose.

Earlier this month, we shared exciting news with our first placement in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability: we are in the Visionary Quadrant. This research is near to my heart, as I led this research for four years; so, I wanted to reflect on why this is an accurate placement for Logz.io. The Visionary Quadrant is designated for those organizations who are pushing the boundaries of a specific market and technology.

As software developers, one of the things that we worry a lot about is our software dependencies. To speed up delivery time of new functionality within our code we reuse software – we don’t have time to reinvent the wheel. We stand on the shoulders of giants and leverage all the hard work and lessons learned from the software developers of our past. Sounds great right! Well mostly great because we are faced with the underlying trials intrinsec to software development.
