Network monitoring continuously observes and manages the performance, availability, and security of a computer network to identify issues before they affect operations. As IT infrastructure grows more complex, network monitoring ensures your business stays online, whether dealing with on-premises or cloud environments. In hybrid or multi-cloud settings, having visibility across all systems is crucial to maintain seamless performance and prevent disruptions.

Redis is an in-memory data store used primarily as a quick-response database or an application cache. As an open-source NoSQL database, Redis handles data operations in microseconds, making it perfect for applications that need real-time processing. Fast, flexible, and easy to use, Redis has become a key player in modern application design.. Developers love Redis for its scalability and because it delivers application performance much faster than traditional databases, thanks to its in-memory operations.

Cyber threats are a major concern. Individuals, governments, and businesses all feel the impact. The emergence of advanced persistent threats is one of the most alarming forms of cyber espionage (APTs). These hacks are notable for their intricacy, tenacity, and broad penetration capabilities, whether they target a mobile or web application. APTs can harm the target network, including heightened geopolitical tensions, data theft, and protracted service interruptions.

Building applications using serverless technology on AWS—like AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway—can be incredibly powerful. You get to scale effortlessly and focus on writing code without worrying about managing servers. But as your application grows and spreads across hundreds or even thousands of cloud resources, keeping track of errors and fixing issues quickly becomes a big challenge.

In separate incidents this past month, I’ve helped clients troubleshoot network problems that turned out to be due to misconfigured switches. In all cases, the errors turned out to be things that I don’t think should ever have been changed from their default settings. So I thought it might be useful to have a brief discussion about how switches work and what features should or should not be used in normal office environments.

Network access control (NAC) is a critical component of any organization’s cybersecurity strategy. As companies adopt increasingly flexible work environments and emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), their networks have expanded rapidly. More users, devices, and access points mean more potential vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. Implementing NAC solutions lets organizations stay securely connected despite relying on a complex, dynamic infrastructure.

The result of responses from over 300 digital business leaders in North America and EMEA across technology platform providers, financial services, retail, and other industries, our research showed that almost half the surveyed organizations are losing upward of $1M monthly in terms of total economic impact (TEI) due to outages and service degradations.

We’re excited to announce that one of the most popular feature requests is finally here: BugSplat now supports Dark Mode! Whether you’re burning the midnight oil or just prefer a more eye-friendly interface, Dark Mode is here to make those late-night debugging sessions a bit more comfortable.

At BugSplat, we always advocate for teams to introduce crash reporting and establish a bug-tracking/bug-fixing workflow early in their development process. So you can imagine my excitement when I found myself at Denver Startup Week chatting with the founder of a startup that has several projects in flight. He mentioned they’d just kicked off development of a new application, and things were moving quickly.

Solving system failures and performance issues can be like solving a tough puzzle for engineers. But trace data can make it simpler. It helps engineers see how systems behave, find problems, and understand what's causing them. So let’s chat about why trace data is important, how it's used for finding the root cause of issues, and how it can help engineers troubleshoot more effectively.
