Moving from a monolith to microservices lets you simplify code deployments, improve the reliability of your applications, and give teams autonomy to work independently in their preferred languages and tooling. But adopting a microservices architecture can bring increased complexity that leads to gaps in your team members’ knowledge about how your services work, what dependencies they have, and which teams own them.
The explosion of APIs, devices, applications, and data sources has complicated the task of building connectivity across the enterprise. As organizations are connecting to applications outside of their four walls, they risk becoming fragmented. Moreover, existing on-premise systems, such as AS/400 and ERPs, need to be able to communicate both internally and externally.
Website performance is important as it directly impacts your business bottom line, this is why picking the right website monitoring service crucial! They perform regular tests and alert you whenever your site is down, making it easier for you to spot track down issues and solve them. There are lots of options out there from simple uptime monitoring or transaction monitoring to complex web performance monitoring solutions.
It isn’t the first time you’ve heard us say this and it won’t be the last: getting your post-incident process right is a game-changer. Being able to run effective debriefs and create useful postmortems helps us learn from our mistakes, respond better to future incidents and identify how we can build resilience in our product and teams. In short, it’s the thing the shifts the dial from just “fixing” to actually improving.
Today, we're launching ARM support for machines running Alpine Linux. This feature is available for our Ruby and Elixir users! We hope to add support for Alpine Linux ARM to our Node.js package in the future. The ARM CPU architecture is becoming more and more popular. As it powers people's development machines and production servers, we decided to add it to the list of the operating systems we support.
A study from ManageForce estimated the cost of a database outage to be an average of $474,000 per hour. Long database outages are the result of poor design concerning high availability.
How much does monitoring and observability actually cost us? We all collect logs, metrics, traces, and possibly other telemetry data. Yet, this can get expensive pretty quickly, especially in today’s microservices-based systems.
Before we jump into cloud cost optimization, let us address the elephant in the room. Businesses are moving to the cloud but are struggling with unpredictable cloud bills. If you are a business owner who has moved to the cloud recently, you need to understand each cloud touchpoint and get a transparent view of your cloud services. When it comes to cloud cost optimization, there are many tools and techniques that organizations can adopt. Most of these can only take you so far.
Linux users cannot just rely on GUI to perform various tasks in their system. Rather they need to have a good knowledge of the various commands available. One of the very useful commands for any Linux user is the find command. This command is used to locate files in one or more directories. Using this command, Linux users can set a specific search area, filter or find the files on the specific area or directory, and perform actions on the files that match the search.
