AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to deploy containerized applications with services such as Amazon ECS without needing to manage the underlying virtual machines. Deploying with Fargate removes operational overhead and lowers costs by enabling your infrastructure to dynamically scale to meet demand. We are proud to partner with AWS for its launch of support for AWS Fargate on Windows containers.
As we speak, there are likely thousands of organizations running some type of monitoring solution out there, each within unique operational structures, but the difference between those that that are successful and those that are not can be attributed to 4 root causes.

Most computing devices today are likely to have an Intel processor, or an ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processor, such as the CPU in your smartphone or tablet. Both chip architectures are optimised for low-power operation in order to provide mobile devices with the long battery life they require. However, they reflect different mindsets from a technical standpoint.
Six tips on how Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) can prepare for the reliability challenges of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021
While there is a lot of focus on the three pillars of observability to provide insight into application performance in production, load testing is the other side of the observability story. By using the open source load testing tool k6 — which Grafana Labs acquired earlier this year — developers can simulate real-world traffic to test the reliability and performance of software changes and new features, not to mention flag performance issues before impacting end users.
When an incident strikes, an organization’s reputation and revenue, as well as customer trust are at stake. Assembling an effective incident response team is critical to minimizing the incident’s impact. But what exactly is an incident response team?
