Docker containers generate logs to monitor their operations, but without a mechanism in place to manage these logs, they can grow indefinitely, leading to excessive disk space consumption and performance degradation. Implementing docker log rotation is crucial to control log file size and quantity, ensuring efficient log management and optimal system performance.

Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) monitoring is a term used to denote monitoring applications with a single tool that provides a comprehensive set of dashboards for the entire software system of an organization. Managing multiple monitoring tools for different aspects of the IT system becomes too cumbersome. And that’s how the concept of a single pane of glass monitoring evolved. Most modern applications are now built using distributed software systems.

Prometheus is a go-to solution for monitoring containerized environments. This detailed guide will walk you through setting up Prometheus for Docker, helping you achieve robust monitoring for your containerized applications.

Kubernetes operators and Helm charts are both tools used for deploying and managing applications within Kubernetes clusters, but they have different strengths, and it can be difficult to determine which one to use for your application. Helm simplifies the deployment and management of Kubernetes resources using templates and version-controlled packages. It excels in scenarios where repeatable deployments and easy upgrades or rollbacks are needed.

DX App Synthetic Monitor (DX ASM) performs synthetic checks from an external perspective to replicate real-user experience. Using the DX ASM global network of more than 90 monitoring stations, customers can test a website or application on a 24/7 basis, with no disruption to production systems. The solution also provides the option to create on-premises monitoring stations (OPMS) within a data center to monitor web applications and APIs inside the firewall.

Having insights into your Kubernetes environment is crucial for ensuring optimal resource allocation and preventing potential performance bottlenecks. It also enables proactive monitoring of application health and security, helping to quickly identify and resolve issues before they impact users.

The Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) innovations and advancements over the past 1.5 years have been unmatched. Gartner predicts that by 2026, more than 80% of enterprises will have deployed GenAI-enabled applications in production environments and/or used GenAI application programming interfaces or models. This is up from less than 5% in 2023.

Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of migrating your application from Heroku to AWS? You're not alone. Many organizations face challenges like infrastructure management, scaling, and data transfer during this process. Migrating from a PaaS like Heroku to an IaaS like AWS provides many benefits including but not limited to more control, scalability, and cost efficiency. However, this migration comes with different challenges, especially the technical expertise required for a smooth migration.

Monitoring K8s is crucial to ensure that your applications run smoothly. But before you look for a monitoring solution, you need to ask what tools are the best for your situation. There are several options, but Graphite and Prometheus are two leading options. This article will compare the two.

Service mesh is a tool for adding observability, security, and traffic management capabilities at the application layer. A service mesh is intended to help developers and site reliability engineers (SREs) with service-to-service communication within Kubernetes clusters. The challenges involved in deploying and managing microservices led to the creation of the service mesh, but service mesh solutions themselves introduce complexities and challenges.
