For time series workloads the ability of serverless functions to scale up and down is a major advantage, especially for something like IoT devices that may have intermittent connectivity and might suddenly send data in bursts. In this type of situation, it doesn’t make sense to be paying for a server to be running 24/7 when you can use a serverless function and only pay for the compute you use.
The managed security services market is booming. Coming in at $22.8 billion in 2021, it is projected to nearly double in just five years and grow to $43.7 billion by 2026. Moreover, cloud-based managed security services are poised to be the major growth driver for the broader MSP market, coming in at $219.59 billion in 2021, and expected to reach $557.10 billion by 2028. As we can see, providing robust security services is a key competitive differentiator for the lucrative MSP market.
Today we're joined by CTO and Co-founder of LaunchDarkly, John Kodumal. LaunchDarkly is a feature management platform that gives developers total control of their code so that they can ship quicker, reduce risk, and reclaim their nights and weekends. We're going to talk about why having tools that help devs build with confidence is essential to a successful DevOps culture and John's top tips for enterprises who are early in their DevOps adoption.
Remote support software is used by IT technicians to access and control devices that they manage, from a remote location in order to provide support to end-users. This software has enabled users to get their issues resolved from anywhere, on any device, without having to wait for a technician to be physically present. Remote support software has revolutionized the IT industry by providing faster issue resolution and practically eliminating the need for IT technicians to be based in every office.
Building, running and scaling SaaS demo systems that run around the clock is a big engineering challenge. Through the power of traffic replay, we scaled our demos in a huge way. A few weeks ago we launched a new demo sandbox. This is actually a second generation version of our existing demo system that I built a few months ago (codename: decoy). Because the traffic viewer page shows the most recent data by default, you need to constantly be pumping new data in there. Any type of real-time SaaS system is going to have a similar requirement. So this needs to be planned.
Big Data has recently made headlines as one of the important tools recruited to combat the corona crisis. Big Data technologies offer predictive capabilities and insights from vast volumes of economic, scientific, and epidemiological information to enable informed decision making, both locally and globally.
In any enterprise, IT or otherwise, infrastructure monitoring and management are extremely crucial. A drop in performance or a failure of a machine can lead to significant delays. For that reason, there’s a constant need for eyes on the overall infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. One of the best ways to gauge the overall health of infrastructure is by monitoring key performance indicators (KPI).
I am super excited to announce that our Preview Environment feature is GA (Globally Available) for everyone 🥳.
The major challenge facing communications service providers (CSPs) is not about handling ever-growing bandwidth demands without increasing Capex. Smart selection of network technologies that leverage advances in aggregating, routing, and transmitting bits largely have the answer for that. The much more pressing challenge is on the services front, from competition, substitution, and the inability to maximize revenues. These concerns reduce the top line and restrict CSPs’ ability to maneuver.
