In the old days, it took a bunch of help desk tickets for an engineer to realize there was something wrong with the network. At that time, troubleshooting meant logging into network devices one-by-one to pore over logs. In the late 80s, SNMP was introduced giving engineers a way to manage network devices remotely. It quickly became a way to also collect and manage information about devices. That was a big step forward, and it marked the beginning of network visibility as we know it today.

It’s time we had a real conversation about why UX designers everywhere are still unhappy, why that elusive “seat at the table” feels so impossibly out of reach to so many (even at companies that embrace design), and how this impacts your business Design is facing down an epidemic of designers who feel burned out, taken for granted, marginalized, and disrespected. Yes, there is something different about our experience compared to other disciplines.

Effective major incident management depends on many things, including planning, precise execution, effective communication, and applying learnings from previous incidents to update those plans. Traditional major incident management wisdom addresses the importance of the remediation process, but it doesn’t speak on the issue of configuring your IT infrastructure.

If you help to manage cloud environments, you’re probably familiar with the concept of identity lifecycle management. Identity lifecycle management helps you keep track of who is allowed to do what within your cloud. But merely understanding identity lifecycle management isn’t enough to administer modern cloud identities effectively. You also need a way to automate identity lifecycle management at massive scale.

When you think of software testing, what comes up first? For many developers, unit tests and integration tests are often top of mind. Both software testing methods are vital to writing and maintaining a high-quality production codebase. But they are not sufficient on their own. Your team’s testing practice should assess the entire application, observe the larger story of how it operates when functioning correctly, and raise alarms when deviations are found.

Monitoring performance is a critical part of software development. We just released version 3.0.0 of our Sentry Android Gradle plugin, which brings a handful of auto-instrumentation capabilities to Android developers, featuring Room and SQLite queries performance, File I/O operations performance, and more.

Slowdowns caused by system disruption and complexities in your IT environment are more than an operational headache. They can have a direct impact on the bottom line. While it’s enormously important to make IT systems more efficient and give time back to the organization, it’s just as important to recognize the value of that time and understand the best ways to allocate it between workers, apps, and infrastructure.

In this blog, we will be introducing where and how clusters are currently being deployed, what these deployment methods enable, and the major players in that space. This blog is a part of a series of blogs on HPC where we will introduce you to the world of HPC.

Ever wonder what techies are saying? Is computer jargon making your brain hurt? Not quite sure what all the buzzwords over the website mean? No worries, you are not alone! Like most subjects, computer science requires a certain vocabulary to build understanding and communicate clearly. It’s not rocket science (obviously, but you do need computer knowledge to do rocket science…), which means you can learn the basics with a little time and effort.
