In the ever-evolving software development landscape, ephemeral environments are short-lived, automated setups used for testing, staging, or development. These environments exist only temporarily—created when necessary and destroyed afterward—allowing developers to work in isolation without impacting others. Ephemeral environments are crucial for efficient, conflict-free development, accelerating time-to-market, and enhancing team collaboration.

Platform engineering is rapidly evolving as businesses look for more efficient ways to manage infrastructure, automate workflows, and improve developer productivity. In this edition, we’ll explore the top 10 platform engineering platforms for September 2024, optimized for scalability, automation, and ease of use. These platforms empower developers to focus on building code while platform engineers handle infrastructure with reduced complexity.

API testing is critical to modern software development, ensuring that applications communicate seamlessly and function as expected. However, setting up testing environments that accurately mimic real-world conditions can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. APIs often change, and dependencies on third-party services or backend systems can delay the development process, making it challenging to conduct reliable tests in real-time.

Effective board management is essential for steering a company toward success. The board of directors plays a critical role in shaping corporate strategy, overseeing performance, and ensuring accountability. However, one of the greatest challenges boards face is maintaining transparency, a crucial factor for governance and long-term growth. Transparency promotes trust, enhances corporate governance, and ensures that decision-making processes are visible to all relevant stakeholders.

Cloud cost management has become increasingly complex as businesses adopt multi-cloud strategies, using services like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Tracking expenses across these platforms can be challenging for businesses. With the latest updates in iOS 18, Control Center Widgets have been enhanced for a better user experience. You can streamline the process and monitor your cloud usage and spending directly from your device’s home screen.

iOS 18 update and Site24x7 mobile app With the release of iOS 18, Apple has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation. At Site24x7, we’re committed to providing our users with the latest and greatest technology. That’s why we’ve diligently integrated the powerful features of iOS 18 into our mobile app.

As our world becomes more connected through the internet and networking, it’s important to understand how devices communicate with each other via network protocols. So what are network protocols? In essence, network protocols are established sets of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices on a network. They provide common languages that allow devices to exchange information reliably, regardless of differences in their internal structures, processes, or standards.

HEAL Software’s AIOps platform has firmly established as a leader in leveraging AI and machine learning to analyze alerts and events, correlating them with historical data and knowledge base to identify root causes with exceptional accuracy. This advanced root cause analysis significantly reduces Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) and minimizes downtime, ensuring the reliability of IT systems. However, the real innovation comes with the HEAL Chatbot, which is more than just a conversational AI.

We are thrilled to announce the new SquaredUp Cloud plugin for the GripMatix Citrix Logon Simulator, bringing enhanced capabilities for monitoring, visualizing, and troubleshooting Citrix logon performance in real time.

Are you looking for a way to increase your AIOps signal to noise ratio and get more value from your data? In this article we will explore how one can utilize OpenTelemetry’s collectors, processors and data models to add or enhance classification attributes. These attributes can help you use your AIOps tools more efficiently and derive more value from your current data.
