Imagine a universe in which a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) sets Guinness World Records for the size of its online space battles—and that game is built on 20-year-old code. Well, imagine no more. Welcome to the world of EVE Online, where hundreds of thousands of players interact across 7,800+ star systems and participate in more than one million daily market transactions.

Kubernetes, one of the most popular container management systems, automates the work necessary for deploying and scaling a containerized application by managing a large number of interdependent microservices. Additionally, it allows for the migration and deployment of containerized applications across different platforms in a multi-cloud environment.

An essential element of your business success lies in establishing trust between you and your users. A big part of this is a reliable website that performs and is there when your users need it. We’ll show you how a website uptime monitoring tool can help you achieve excellence online, with all the wide-ranging benefits that encompasses, not least engendering trust between you and your users.

Device performance issues can arise due to insufficient drive space, this may be one of the largest drivers of device issues. These issues can block OS updates and escalate to BSOD, requiring a hard reset of the device. Although, these are common issues, the business implications of them at scale cannot be overstated. Employee productivity drops and deadlines are missed. This in turn can lead to the business not meet its objectives. Don’t let low system space derail your business.

Microservices architecture (often shortened to microservices) is an architectural style for developing applications. Microservices allow a large application to be separated into smaller independent parts, each having its own realm of responsibility. To serve a single user request, a microservices-based application can call on many internal microservices to compose its response. It is critical to track failures in microservice to take corrective actions and keep the business process ongoing.

Hardware is one of the most important, and most expensive, line items in IT’s purview. Constantly refreshing and provisioning hardware takes time and can be a very manual process. And one of the most significant reasons for refreshing hardware is battery life. Monitoring the health status of device batteries is crucial, and determining the health status can help maintain and extend the device lifetime in any environment.

DevOps gained popularity in order to combat siloed workflows, decreased collaboration and a lack of visibility across the software development lifecycle. While establishing a culture of DevOps has helped teams collaborate better and deliver reliable software faster, DevOps teams don’t necessarily have someone specifically dedicated to developing systems that increase site reliability and performance. That’s where a site reliability engineer (SRE) comes into the picture.
