Reducing development and testing time is one of the top priorities for software development teams. A reduced development time allows teams to move ahead with projects faster and focus more on testing and refining them, which is especially important for end-user-based projects. This is because UI-UX-heavy projects often need to be put through a rigorous review and refinement process before they can finally be launched for customer use.

In modern application development and architecture, there has been a big push from monolithic, large applications that can do everything a product would need, to many smaller services that have a specific purpose. This onset has brought on the age of microservice frameworks (micro-frameworks), with the goal of making it easier to prototype, build, and design applications in this paradigm.

One of the most important features of any software tool or web application is its reliability. Businesses that offer slow or unreliable software services always risk losing customers to better, more competent service providers. This makes it important for businesses to constantly monitor and enhance the performance and reliability of their digital systems.

If you’re thinking of setting up a developer portal for your software development teams, now is as good a time as any. Developer portals can help your teams start building new projects in a more efficient and streamlined manner. With all the necessary information about available development tools, development environments, service ownership, external APIs, and SDKs present in one place, developers can follow a more systematic approach while building new tools and products.

A developer portal is a single pane of glass that shows specifications, key parameters, and technical information about software development. Read on to learn how to set one up.

It’s been an incredible year — there’s no better way I can sum up my thoughts as I reflect on 2022. At Cortex, we are extraordinarily grateful for the opportunities that last year brought us. As the holiday season comes to an end, I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts with all of you.

The weather’s getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and we’re looking back on a year of change and growth with gratitude in our hearts. As we get ready for the new year, we wanted to share some of the ways in which we saw users expand what’s possible with Cortex in 2022, and highlight some of our favorite new features.

Microservices are loosely coupled software that provides flexibility and scalability to a cloud environment. However, securing this open architecture from vulnerabilities and malicious actors can be challenging without a service mesh. This blog post will demonstrate how you can create an Istio and Calico integration to establish a service mesh that will manipulate HTTP traffic in the application layer.

At LogicMonitor, ingesting and processing time series metric data is arguably the most critical portion of our unified observability platform. In order to fully prepare for growth, scale, and fault-tolerance, we have evolved what we refer to as our Metrics Processing Pipeline from a monolith to a microservice-driven architecture.
