Moreover, the pandemic transformed the way healthcare organizations approach care team collaborations and interactions with the patient.

Compare and optimize your code with Datadog Profile Comparison

Code profilers offer detailed insight into the efficiency of application code by measuring things like the execution time and resource utilization of a service. Datadog’s always-on, low overhead Continuous Profiler provides snapshots of code performance for a service that are tagged with key metadata (e.g., region, service, release), so you can easily identify and optimize inefficient code.

How to Enable Health Checks in HAProxy

HAProxy provides active, passive, and agent health checks. HAProxy makes your web applications highly available by spreading requests across a pool of backend servers. If one or even several servers fail, clients can still use your app as long as there are other servers still running. The caveat is, HAProxy needs to know which servers are healthy. That’s why health checks are crucial.

Speedscale & Locust: Comparing Performance Testing Tools

Picking the right performance testing tool can be a challenge. What should you look for and what is important? Performance testing is a phrase many developers have come across at some point, but what is it exactly? In simple terms, performance testing is a software testing practice used to determine stability, responsiveness, scalability, and most important, speed of the application under a given workload.

The future of the Puppet Developer Kit (PDK)

The Puppet Developer Kit was launched in 2017 to help our users develop high quality modules faster and over the years, it has seen regular development towards that goal. It was designed to be a single install that would provide everything you needed to write, lint, test and publish a Puppet module — and for the most part, that's what it did.

Container Craziness: Meet us This Fall to Unlock the Knowledge of the Future of Enterprise Kubernetes

Gartner predicts that by 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 30% today. Kubernetes is the future-proof solution that is going to provide flexibility, power, and scalability to improve productivity for the modern enterprise. It’s the key to modernization in a world moving at warp speed.

Server Health and Health Checks: A Detailed Guide

Undeniably, monitoring your servers is extremely important. Not only does it help you stop issues daily, but it also helps you with tasks like scaling and capacity planning. But no matter how advanced your monitoring is, it always starts with a simple server health indication. Actually, maybe “simple” isn’t the best word here. “Server health” usually gives you a “healthy/not healthy” indication.
