At the heart of RapidSpike is a development team who are passionate about pushing their abilities, learning new technologies and ultimately driving our software and product forward. We’ve researched and developed many cutting-edge features over the last 6 years but we’re shifting our focus this year. We’re taking a step back from new feature development in favour of upgrading, exploring and applying new technologies to existing functionality.

All of us here at Catchpoint are passionate about continuously innovating and improving our product to make our customers’ lives better. Part of this process involves regular product releases is – and this latest one, Hercules, is no exception.

Here is a quick round up of the newest product features, resources, and events!

We are excited to announce that Elastic is joining forces with Cmd to accelerate our efforts in Cloud security - specifically in cloud workload runtime security. By integrating the capabilities of Cmd's expertise and product into Elastic Security, we will enable customers to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks on their cloud workloads.

While we know the many benefits of going serverless – reduced costs via pay-per-use pricing models, less operational burden/overhead, instant scalability, increased automation – the challenges of going serverless are often not addressed as comprehensively. The understandable concerns over migrating can stop any architectural decisions and actions being made for fear of getting it wrong and not having the right resources.

A WS is a comprehensive platform with over 200+ types of cloud services available globally. As organizations adopt these services, monitoring their performance can seem overwhelming. The majority of AWS workloads behind the scenes are dependent on a core set of services: EC2 (the compute service), EBS (block storage), and ELB (load balancing).

Time series databases (TSDBs) can transform the way you handle streams of data in real time or IoT applications. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set one up in a C# application. Relational databases have their place. They’re great at things like data normalization, avoiding duplication, indexing over specific data points (like columns), and handling atomic changes to the schema.

LogDNA integrates with your PagerDuty instance to help trigger incidents based on log data coming in from your ingestion sources. This allows your teams to quickly understand when there are issues with your application, and where in the logs you can investigate to understand root cause. To help further accelerate your team’s ability to understand the state of your applications, we are introducing the ability to automatically resolve those PagerDuty Incidents directly from LogDNA.
