The high-level steps for implementing chaos experiments involve: defining your application’s steady state, hypothesizing the steady state in both the control and experimental groups, injecting realistic failures, observing the results, and making changes to your code base/infrastructure as necessary based off of the results.
AppDynamics’ new serverless agent for AWS Lambda helps our customers running serverless microservice workloads gain visibility and insight into the performance and impact of their applications.
Since the beginning of Dashbird, we’ve been conducting user interviews with all the users that take the time to jump on a call with us. One of the most common requests we get is the ability to customise alerts - specifically, what failures you will get notified upon and the ability to set custom alert based on metrics. Today we announce a new part of Dashbird that takes care of that - an incident management platform.
A few months back, I blogged about my experience arriving at Stackery after code school. Months later, each day is still interesting and challenging and I’m so glad to have decided to pursue serverless as my concentration. I credit my AWS certifications for narrowing my focus enough to lead me to this point. The serverless community puts so much emphasis on exploration and getting started on your work or experiments today that, getting some exposure to AWS, you can get started right away.
What a year! It started with just me and Mikk, hacking away at our homes with an MVP and a handful of customers. Now, Dashbird is a team of 6 people with a lot of customers, global investors and a vision for the future. Looking back at the year, we’ve had a lot of wins and also our fair share of failures/learning experiences. I’m very excited for the upcoming year, but before we get into that, let’s look back at the year that just ended.
It’s the beginning of a new year and when it comes to computing, going serverless is the resolution of many engineering teams. At Stackery, this excites us because we know how significant the positive impacts of serverless are and will be. So much, in fact, that we’re already thinking about its applications for next year and beyond.
As the CEO of Stackery, I have had a unique, inside view of serverless since we launched in 2016. I get to work alongside the world’s leading serverless experts, our customers, and our partners and learn from their discoveries. It’s a new year: the perfect time to take stock of professional progress, accomplishments, and goals.
Sometimes it's necessary to run a maintenance API script in your LogicMonitor portal. For example, I move decommissioned devices into a specific folder because I no longer want to receive any alerts on these devices. An API script helps automate the process by running once a day to disable alerts on any new devices added to this folder.
Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve prioritized some sustaining product goals to polish the codebase and update some big ticket dependencies. Among those updates were: React, Redux, and Webpack - the biggies. The first two were pretty painless and inspired the confidence to approach updating Webpack from v2 to v4 like maybe no big deal! Though confidence level was on high, I felt a slight chill and a twinge of doubt by the prospect of making changes to our build configs.
