Source: APM in the new normal, survey by eG Innovations and DevOps Institute Cloud adoption is increasing at a rapid pace. The eG Innovations & DevOps Institute APM survey indicates that 88% of organizations are using at least one form of cloud technology. Organizations move to the cloud for agility – they can deploy and have applications running in the cloud in minutes. Cloud computing also offers options for high availability, automated backups, and such.
Developers use JavaScript frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js to build every kind of single page application, from simple to complex. By separating JavaScript and CSS, frameworks let dev teams structure applications in modular chunks of code that carry out a single function. That is great, but once your application is ready for deployment to production, you will need a command to compile and bundle the separate files into a single one.
TL;DR: startSpan is easier and measures a duration. Use it if your work won’t create any subspans. startActiveSpan requires that you pass a callback for the work in the span, and then any spans created during that work will be children of this active span. I’m instrumenting a Node.js app with OpenTelemetry, and adding some custom instrumentation. For this important activity that I’m doing (let’s call it “retrieve number”), I’m creating a custom span.
Here at N-able, we have identified three key market segments that today’s MSPs fall into: Emerging Market, Growth Market, and Elite Market. What we are starting to see happening among these three tiers is a growing disparity developing where MSPs will need to make difficult decisions about the future and how they should be moving their business forward in the years to come. Unfortunately, if MSPs fail to address this growing market disparity, they are going to be left behind.
Those of us of a certain age know well the saying “Nobody got fired for buying IBM.” In the log analysis and security world, we’ve become lucky to get to the point where people are saying “Nobody gets fired for buying Splunk.” Our success in these areas has definitely created a perception for what products Splunk has and what we can offer to our customers. The problem is that most of these perceptions don’t capture the full power of Splunk.

There has been a rapid incline in the use of automation in many day-to-day activities, making life a bit simpler. Whether it’s through the implementation of chatbots or automated reporting tools, automation has become a new norm. It’s meant to make workloads a lot easier, as well as improve efficiency. However, not everyone may see it that way. The simple notion of automation taking over your job can cause a lot of stress, anger, and/or anxiety.
As part of our mission to make it simple to secure software at scale through Continuous Packaging, Cloudsmith is excited to announce that we have become an Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) member. OpenSSF is a cross-industry forum for a collaborative effort to improve security in open source software (OSS). One software pipeline's output is another's dependency- we are all splashing around in each other's supply chains.
