Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, making it a key piece in the containerization strategy of many users. Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) is a Kubernetes distribution from AWS that lets you run on-premise clusters using the same tested Kubernetes versions, security features, and tooling that power Amazon EKS. This means that EKS-D is compatible with the Kubernetes tools and processes you’re already using, making it easy to operate in-house Kubernetes clusters.

AppSignal was built because we were tired of slow and clumsy monitoring setups. Instead, we built monitoring that’s easy yet powerful - an intuitive interface enables you to figure out what’s happening in no time. Today, our team made finding slow events effortless. We’ve fully overhauled our slow events feature, helping developers to quickly find and fix slow queries and API requests.

MySQL is the de facto choice for open-source relational databases, and you should learn how to use MySQL database logs to improve efficiency and security. As an open-source product, it is free to use and has a large and active developer community. It is crucial to understand how to diagnose and monitor the performance of a MySQL instance in the long run. Logs to the rescue!

As software is evolving away from monoliths and towards service-based architectures, it is becoming more apparent than ever that logging performance needs to be a first-class consideration of our architectural designs. This article will explore how to build and maintain a logging solution for a microservice-oriented containerized application, how to address some common difficulties which come with running such a solution, plus some tips for debugging and eliminating bottlenecks.

The Internet of Things (or, IoT) is an umbrella term for multiple connected devices sharing real-time data, and IoT logging is an important part of this. Troubleshooting bug fixes, connection problems, and general malfunctions rely heavily on logs, making them an invaluable asset not only in designing systems but also in system maintenance. To maximize system potential, this plethora of generated data needs to be managed efficiently.

At Logz.io, we are always keeping a close eye on the most widely-used and favorite open source monitoring tools among the developer community. This is why we announced the Early Access for our Infrastructure Monitoring product based on open source grafana at this time last year. After a successful GA and a year of strong adoption among new and existing customers, I’m thrilled to announce a huge milestone for the product: Early Access for Prometheus-as-a-service!

Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE for short, has become quite the buzzword. I wasn’t there in 2004, when Ben Treynor started it at Google, but I claim bragging rights based on the fact that the very same Ben Treynor interviewed me for an SRE role in 2005. (I also got the job after the interview, in case that wasn’t obvious…) When SREcon EMEA 2019 came along, I thought it was just about time to publicly speculate about the future of our profession.
