As organizations have moved toward a microservices design pattern, the need for reliable and performant solutions that enable decoupled services to communicate with one another has grown. RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker designed for this purpose. We’ll discuss what RabbitMQ is, how it works, why it needs to be monitored and how Sumo Logic can effectively do this.

Early Twitter was an adventure. Every day was an open question: would you be able to log in or did the next big story crash the platform? It was taking off and crashing and flying and crashing again.

And why do we still tolerate stuff not working?

If you’ve spent any amount of time in the.NET / Microsoft developer ecosystem, you’ve probably heard the term “NuGet” in reference to code packages, package managers, software libraries, and even software installers. Understandably, this can cause a lot of confusion around what NuGet actually is.

This is one of a series of blogs in which we introduce AppScope 1.0 with stories that demonstrate how AppScope changes the game for SREs and developers, as well as Infosec, DevSecOps, and ITOps practitioners. In the coming weeks, Part 2 of this post will tackle another Infosec use case. If you’re in Infosec, at some point you’ve doubtless had to vet an application before it’s allowed to run in an enterprise environment.

At SolarWinds, we believe security should be a core competency of all organizations. The December 2020 SUNBURST cyberattack on the SolarWinds software build environment emphasized a concerning new reality for the software industry and illuminated the increasingly sophisticated threats made by outside nation-states to the supply chains and infrastructure on which we all rely.

Have you found yourself asking this question when seeing website monitoring solutions flash up on Google? Has your dev team been trying to convince you to get a monitoring tool but you’re not sure what the benefits are? Don’t worry, I’ve compiled a list of the top reasons why website monitoring is so important to you and your website. But you don’t have to take my word for it, read on and find out.

There are multiple reasons why Java and the Java Virtual Machine-based languages are very popular among developers. A rich ecosystem with lots of open-source frameworks that can be easily incorporated and used is only one of them. The second, in my opinion, is the automatic memory management with a powerful garbage collector. The Java garbage collector, or in short, the GC, takes care of cleaning up the unused bits and pieces.

With digital service expansion putting pressure on IT, 'Gartner Predicts 2022: Build Digital Platforms for Adaptive Resilience’ is a helpful guide for I&O leaders with their sights on 2025. If you looked up “tech trends” right now, how many search results would you expect to see? 100 million? 500 million? Think again. Between blog posts, research reports, and news articles, you’d actually find roughly 1.5 billion search results.
