Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that minimizes latency by caching your content on AWS edge locations around the world. With CloudFront real-time logging, you can understand how efficiently CloudFront is distributing your content and responding to requests. You can collect CloudFront real-time logs in Datadog—in addition to CloudFront metrics—to get deep visibility into the health and performance of your CloudFront distribution.

MarkLogic is a multi-model NoSQL database with support for queries across XML and JSON documents (including geospatial data), binary data, and semantic triples—as well as full-text searches—plus a variety of interfaces and storage layers.

George Romero’s zombie classic, Dawn of the Dead, is the perfect analogy for a lot like the DevOps experience. Your cluster of services is like your Monroeville Mall. Your safe haven where you live and work for years on end, toiling away at survival. But who are the zombies? The answer isn’t always clear when you’re busy chasing down alerts at 2 AM.

HAProxy can run in two different modes: TCP or HTTP. When operating in TCP mode, we say that it acts as a layer 4 proxy. In HTTP mode, we say that it acts as a layer 7 proxy. To understand the difference, you must first learn about the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which helps IT pros conceptualize and explain where a piece of software fits in the context of a computer network.

We are excited to bring you our new and improved pull request experience. The entire Bitbucket engineering team has been enjoying the experience and are looking forward to you trying it. In the coming weeks, we'll begin to enroll more people into the new experience with the option to switch back to the old view if needed.

On a day-to-day basis, both engineering and product management in software companies involves constant trade-offs. Everyone has a long backlog of tasks and needs to make decisions about what to prioritize on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Figuring out what to tackle first, what to put off for later, and what to say no to is critical both to managing daily workloads as well as to creating product roadmaps that reflect what customers want.

Technology anniversaries have become more commonplace in recent years. The iPhone at 10 years old, indeed Canonical itself turned 15 last year. Here though, we want to look at OpenStack reaching double figures this year. Starting off as a joint project between NASA and Rackspace in 2010, over 500 companies have now joined the OpenStack project in the past decade, which has spun off dozens of sub-projects.
