Managing and discovering assets is critical for organizations of all sizes. The right asset discovery tool can provide visibility into your infrastructure, helping you maintain control over hardware, software, and network components. With an array of options available, selecting the tool that best fits your organization's needs can be challenging.

When managing an enterprise-level network, ensuring seamless synchronization between servers is crucial for maintaining consistency and security. That's where Repadmin, a command-line tool designed for diagnosing and managing Active Directory (AD) replication, comes into play. It is an essential tool for IT administrators working in Windows Server environments, providing deep insights into the health of replication processes within the network.

In Software development, code readability transforms complexity into clarity. Martin Fowler said: Code should be readable and manageable so other developers can understand and work without additional fatigue. .NET has many ways to enhance readability and manageability. This post will explore C#'s extension methods by listing five use cases that I use on all of the ASP.NET Core projects I'm working on.

Platform.sh was built on a set of core principles: positive impact, caring for others, fairness, aiming for the stars. Since 2015, our founders have followed their own true north, creating a cloud application platform and technologies that would make developers’ daily lives easier. Like most for-profit businesses, the leadership team sought marketplace differentiation. Revenue growth. Continuous innovation. But they wanted something more.

Let’s be honest: platform engineering is evolving fast, and a lot of teams are being forced to write the rules while still collecting context. Plenty of terms and topics are still up for debate—from, “Is this just DevOps 2.0?” to “How much abstraction is too much?" In this blog we pulled together 10 of the biggest topics being debated today. While we may not have all the answers, we think just getting up to speed on what's left to decide helps all of us get better.

Learn about OpenTelemetry Metrics, types of instruments, and best practices for effective application performance monitoring and observability.

Explore practical methods for monitoring ephemeral storage metrics in Kubernetes to ensure efficient resource management and improve overall performance.

Time series databases are designed to store and analyze data collected at specified points in time. They’re essential for applications that handle huge amounts of continuously generated data, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, system monitors, and financial systems. InfluxDB, an open source time series database known for its outstanding performance and scalability, has gained popularity due to its capacity to manage large amounts of time-stamped data.

PostgreSQL PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) and is one of the most popular relational databases with over 1.5 billion users. It’s renowned for its reliability, robustness, and comprehensive capabilities. It is capable of managing a broad variety of workloads, from small single-machine applications to large-scale enterprise databases.

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. For OpenTelemetry visualization, you need to use a backend that can ingest the collected data and provide a web UI to visualize it.
