Mature start-ups and scale-ups create wonderful and challenging environments for Engineers. As the product they’re creating matures and the brand becomes a successful one, the user base generally starts growing, and, for some companies, in places they might not expect it to grow. As that happens, new challenges arise for Engineers. One of these challenges is pretty straightforward to guess. Basically having a particular product available throughout different regions of the world.

Developers often find comfort in embracing open-source software for numerous reasons. One of the most important reasons is the freedom to use that software anywhere and how they wish to. Amazon OpenSearch is an open-source search and analytics suite derived from Elasticsearch. It lets you perform interactive log analytics and real-time application monitoring with ease.

One of the most powerful ways to prepare for future incidents is to study and learn from patterns in past incidents. Blameless Reliability Insights highlights these patterns for you, with out-of-the-box dashboards that automatically collect and present all types of statistical information about your incidents.

SRE is a practice that creates a bridge between operations and development. We discuss the roles and responsibilities of a site reliability engineer.

Ask most SREs how many incidents they’d have to respond to in a perfect world, and their answer would probably be “zero.” After all, making software and infrastructure so reliable that incidents never occur is the dream that SREs are theoretically chasing. Reducing actual incidents by as much as possible is a noble goal. However, it’s important to recognize that incidents aren’t an SRE’s number one enemy.

SRE requires teamwork and planning. Be like Aiven, get it right.

Wondering about development velocity? We explain what development velocity is, how to measure it, and how to balance the need for fast development and reliable products.

Distributed caching is an important aspect of cloud based applications, be it for on-premises, public or hybrid cloud environments. It facilitates incremental scaling, allowing the cache to grow and incorporate the data growth. In this blog we will explore distributed caching on cloud and why it is useful for environments with high data volume and load.

Digital business is an imperative for 21st-century companies. Increasingly, organizations are directing investments toward technologies that deliver outcomes fast and enable more resilient digital business models. In this landscape, incidents such as software bugs, power outages, or downed networks have major consequences that affect both revenue and customer loyalty.
