May 2019 saw the announcement of our latest SaaS platform update - The OpsRamp Summer 2019 release which delivers several new AIOps innovations like OpsQ Observed mode, Topology context capabilities, out-of-the-box Kubernetes dashboards and an array of other features. We also launched our latest AIOps report - The State Of AIOps which gives deeper insights on how AIOps is being used by enterprises in IT today.

The conference started off with a heady fulfilling talk from John Allspaw about the impact of human performance in automatable systems. Wrapping the crux of his argument around the 3 Mile Island nuclear disaster, he drew parallels to how automation in software suffers from those same issues and how the automators should attack these problems.

We’re excited to announce a new feature that enables you to install updates to your Datadog Agent integrations as soon as they are released. That means that you can make use of new or updated integrations right away, without waiting for a full release of the Datadog Agent.

Sometimes developers are hesitant to include logging due to performance concerns, but is this justified? And how much does library choice affect performance? The team at SolarWinds® Loggly® and myself decided to find out. We ran a series of performance tests on some of the most popular Node.js libraries. These tests are designed to show how quickly each library processed logging and the impact on the overall application. Let’s see how they did!

Serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda have created new challenges in debugging code. Without a solid logging framework in place, you could waste hours, or even days, tracking down simple defects in your functions. A strategic logging framework can be a powerful way to track down and resolve bugs. Let’s walk through how to get the most out of logging Lambda functions.
