On November 16, 2022, I sat down with analyst KellyAnn Fitzpatrick from RedMonk to discuss my favorite topic: observability. This time, we looked at observability in a context of what to do and what to avoid doing as you’re starting and going on an observability journey.

A logging framework is a software tool that helps developers output diagnostic information during the execution of a program. This information is used to debug the program or monitor its performance. There are many different logging frameworks available, starting with simple logging libraries to full-fledged logging and observability platforms.

Data processing involves collecting, organizing, and manipulating data in a systematic manner in order to extract useful information from it. It involves a series of steps that are performed on a set of data to transform it into a more meaningful and functional form for a specific purpose. Starting from collecting the data to the end part of processing it, data undergoes several layers of checks and balances before it is let out as we see it.

The gaming industry delivers specialized software at scale to users who expect a flawless interface. Application performance monitoring (APM) will measure critical software performance parameters using telemetry data. By monitoring this data, teams can ensure their game delivers the best user experience and quickly detect when the software needs updates to fix errors or meet key performance indicators (KPIs).

You may get lucky this holiday season with a new 3D printer, either as a gift or something you give yourself as a reward for all your hard work this year. Household 3D printers have made tremendous strides in ease of use and affordability over the last decade.
