The power of effective log management in software development and operations

The rapid software development process that exists today requires an expanding and complex infrastructure and application components, and the job of operations and development teams is ever growing and multifaceted. Observability, which helps manage and analyze telemetry data, is the key to ensuring the performance and reliability of your applications and infrastructure.

The Synthetic Monitoring Beginner's Guide

Synthetic monitoring is one holistic technique within the wide world of IT monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM) and it’s focused on web performance. Synthetic monitoring emulates the transaction paths between a client and application server and monitors what happens. The goal of synthetic monitoring is to understand how a real user might experience an app or website. In this article, let’s go deep with this topic.

Modeling and Unifying DevOps Data Part 2: Code

How do you come to grips with all of the code engineers are committing, pushing, merging, and deploying within your organization? Have you started even looking at that data? If not, you’re missing out on a crucial source of productivity, security, and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) data. But how can you get a handle on all of that code-related activity?

Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence in log analytics

Managing logs is a significant part of an SRE's daily grind. Scattered within heaps of log data are invaluable insights - those small bits of information that can unveil underlying issues and patterns critical for system monitoring and troubleshooting. However, in an era where the volume of logs is astronomical, how do you discern the relevant from the irrelevant? Sumo Logic's array of log analytics features comes to the rescue, wielding the might of artificial intelligence.

Native OpenTelemetry support in Elastic Observability

OpenTelemetry is more than just becoming the open ingestion standard for observability. As one of the major Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, with as many commits as Kubernetes, it is gaining support from major ISVs and cloud providers delivering support for the framework. Many global companies from finance, insurance, tech, and other industries are starting to standardize on OpenTelemetry.

Data Mesh Architecture Explained

The advent of the data mesh has changed the way organizations manage and utilize data. It’s not expected to go away anytime soon. Data mesh, in short, is a popular approach to data management in the enterprise. Its primary goal is to empower teams, especially cross-functional ones. In this article, we'll delve into what data mesh is and explore its key principles. We'll also discuss some benefits of implementing this modern data mesh approach in your organization.

Microservices on Kubernetes: 12 Expert Tips for Success
