The world became a different place post Covid-19, and how we work, communicate and collaborate has been redefined—possibly forever. When “shelter in place” hit the entire world, we were not sure how we’d be able to execute our projects, customer commitments, and day-to-day operations. OpsRamp, an ITOM provider, has a distributed team across the U.S. and India for development and operations, and most of our engineers rarely worked from home.

With nearly every organization moving at least some portion of their infrastructure into the cloud, the value is well understood—we’re not going to re-hash those umpteen benefits here. But when you migrate, you cede some control. That’s by design and it’s not inherently bad. It does, however, mean that you need to keep an eye on those deployments to make sure you’re getting the performance and benefits you expect. And you need to watch it over time as things evolve.

When it comes to patient care, convenience and trust are critical to success. Healthcare startup Galileo prioritizes just that through technology that gives people 24/7 access to medical care and improves the dialogue between patients and their doctors. Galileo ensures uptime, minimizes latency, and reduces errors so patients get the help they need when they need it and can ultimately live better, healthier lives.

Tags are essential for aggregating and contextualizing monitoring data across your infrastructure; they enable you to monitor your entire system at a high level, drill down to individual services for more comprehensive analysis, and easily correlate data from every application component. Implementing a consistent and effective tag schema for your applications can be challenging, especially as they grow in complexity.

The following Prometheus exporters best practices will help you implement a monitoring solution based on Prometheus, and will also increase your productivity. Prometheus is one of the foundations of the cloud-native environment. It has become the de-facto standard for visibility in Kubernetes environments, creating a new category called Prometheus monitoring.

I’m excited to announce an extension to Netdata’s series A funding in the amount of $14.2M, bringing the total amount of funding to $31M. We’re thrilled to share the news; the additional funding will help us continue building the future of health monitoring and performance troubleshooting. In case you missed it, our mission is to redefine infrastructure monitoring. Our unique approach to building the right solution with and for the community is no easy task.
