An API allows two systems to communicate with each other. APIs (application programming interfaces) are magnificent things as they connect services and allow us to transfer data back and forth between managed systems. If you manage an API that internal and external users rely on, its failure won’t only impact you. It will affect all users and systems connected to the API. The connectivity and interdependencies create vulnerabilities for application programming interfaces.

Python powers many applications we use in our day-to-day like Reddit, Instagram, Dropbox, and Spotify. The adoption of Python 3 has been a subject of debate in the Python community. While Python 3 has been out for more than a decade now, there wasn’t much incentive to migrate from the stable Python 2.7 in the earlier releases. If you’re still running on legacy python, it’s high time to migrate as it has reached the end of its life since Jan 2020.

In Netdata’s first major release of 2020, we’re introducing two new features on the opposite ends of the monitoring spectrum. On one hand, we’re releasing an eBPF collector, which lets you collect, monitor, and visualize incredibly precise metrics straight from the Linux kernel. On the other, we added the ability to label agents to help you organize entire infrastructures and see every important piece of information about streaming nodes in one place.

Your application isn’t finished when you’ve closed the last if block and you lined up all the brackets. There’s a whole other world of testing, debugging, and optimization that you haven’t even touched yet. To help you more safely step into that complex phase of making your application even better, we’ve just released a brand-new eBPF collector in v1.20 of Netdata.

We’re delighted to introduce you to guest blogger Gabriel Mora, a Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator who has worked on multiple migration projects using Azure Site Recovery and other third-party tools like Zerto and Movere. By Gabriel Mora Hi everyone, my name is Gabriel Mora and today I will be giving you some tips on migrating to Azure using a few helpful tools.

At Rollbar we love workflow automation. With our new Notifications API, you can automate setting up of custom notification rules for all your Rollbar projects. As more of our customers switch to microservices, we wanted to build a programmatic way to set up these rules for multiple projects or services in just a few seconds, without having to go to the UI.
