Simple AWS Serverless Patterns for Building Cost Effective and High Performing Serverless Infrastructure

The popularity of serverless infrastructure, like AWS Lambda, is on the rise, which is easy to understand, given its promise of a cheaper price tag and less maintenance. However, as companies are lifting and shifting apps into lambda, many are discovering that it’s not that simple. Like any shift, such as moving from on-prem to the cloud, the reality is, applications need to be designed a certain way in order for you to reap the cost and efficiency benefits.

AWS Batch: A Detailed Guide to Kicking Off Your First Job

There are always the kind of tasks that need to run periodically, either to analyze and process information (like fraud detection), or to simply do things like send email reports. But for that, we need to have a tool to schedule computer resources and, of course, the script. But what if we only need to worry about coding the script? Introducing AWS Batch.

Speed up your root cause analysis with Metric Correlations

In a world where the applications we run are constantly changing, the number of monitored metrics and events is skyrocketing, and responsibility for system components is fragmented across teams, it becomes increasingly difficult to pinpoint possible root causes of an issue in a timely manner. To address this challenge, we’re introducing Metric Correlations, which automatically finds candidates for the causes of an issue by searching your system for correlated metrics.

SAP HANA monitoring with Datadog

SAP HANA is a data analytics platform that uses an in-memory, column-oriented data store to efficiently execute transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) queries. It can perform these queries against its own tables, or against data that resides in remote, non-SAP databases like Hadoop or SQL Server. SAP HANA also serves as the database behind SAP’s S/4HANA ERP platform. Datadog’s new integration helps you better understand the health and performance of your SAP HANA systems.

How to Take a Business-Centric Approach to AIOps Adoption

In our previous blog post, we discussed how investments in AIOps platforms have been justified on the basis of their ability to decrease mean time to problem resolution and the resultant cost reduction. But one of the challenges most IT Ops teams face is in the approach of deploying AIOps solutions for business-critical use cases: Where do we start? Some use AIOps to analyze unstructured data in order to identify higher-level correlations that traditional IT monitoring tools wouldn’t be capable of.
