Cloud infrastructure provides the hardware and software components that power cloud computing. It allows you to focus on your business logic instead of managing physical resources. In this article, you'll learn about cloud infrastructure, its benefits, and core components. You'll also explore delivery and deployment models that cater to different business needs, and discover how SigNoz can help you monitor and optimize your cloud infrastructure.

Alert fatigue plagues cybersecurity and IT professionals, compromising their ability to respond effectively to genuine threats. This phenomenon occurs when an overwhelming volume of alerts desensitizes responders, leading to missed critical notifications and increased security risks. Understanding alert fatigue is crucial for organizations aiming to maintain robust security postures and operational efficiency.

OpenTelemetry can auto-instrument your Java Spring Boot application to capture telemetry data from a number of popular libraries and frameworks that your application might be using. It can be used to collect logs, metrics, and traces from your Spring Boot application. In this tutorial, we will integrate OpenTelemetry with a Spring Boot application for traces and logs. Before the demo begins, let's have a brief overview of OpenTelemetry.

In the world of DevOps and cloud engineering, a new buzzword has emerged: Platform Engineering. This concept has sparked discussions across the industry, with professionals debating whether it replaces traditional DevOps or adds value to it. In reality, Platform engineering transforms how software teams work. It builds on DevOps principles to create self-service tools that boost developer productivity. This approach streamlines workflows, enhances security, and cuts operational costs.

Today I’ll cover a few points on DEX vs. DEM. Many organizations have adopted Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Monitoring, and many Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), some both. Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably, and sometimes these methodologies overlap. I’ll cover a few points that should hopefully clarify the differences and the overlaps.

This article compares OpenTelemetry and traditional APM tools with their strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases to help you choose the right solution for your application performance monitoring needs.

We recently released two new Raygun API endpoints that expose time series aggregations for particular metrics. They enable you to consolidate your company’s metrics into an external dashboard (such as Grafana, Tableau, or PowerBI), correlate errors and page performance with data points that Raygun cannot see, or even perform advanced data analysis.

OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing are open-source projects used to instrument application code for generating telemetry data. While OpenTelemetry can help you generate logs, metrics, and traces, OpenTracing focuses on generating traces for distributed applications. If you’re thinking of choosing between OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing, go for OpenTelemetry. OpenTracing is now deprecated, and users of OpenTracing are advised to migrate to OpenTelemetry.

OpenTelemetry and DataDog are both used for monitoring applications. While OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework, DataDog is a cloud-monitoring SaaS service. OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs that help generate and collect telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces). OpenTelemetry does not provide a storage and visualization layer, while DataDog does.

In complex IT environments, monitoring and observability tools are indispensable. They help organizations ensure optimal performance of applications and infrastructure, providing insights and alerts to address potential issues before they impact users. Two of the leading tools in this space are Datadog and Dynatrace. This article offers a comprehensive comparison of these platforms to help you decide which is best for your needs in 2024.
