Overcoming Barriers to Achieving ZeroSec Observability

Achieving ZeroSec observability has long been the ultimate goal, yet it remains elusive despite countless hours and sleepless nights dedicated to the cause. A recent discussion with a client underscored the persistent challenges that many organizations continue to struggle with in this pursuit. They had all the right tools in place yet faced significant issues that prevented them from achieving a smooth run of the applications.

Observability and incident response need resilience testing

There’s a reason why observability and incident response practices have become standard across modern software development. Anyone wanting to minimize downtime and deliver reliable, available applications needs to have fully instrumented systems and playbooks so they can respond quickly and effectively to outages or incidents. But there’s another piece to the reliability puzzle: resilience testing.

Navigating Software Engineering Complexity With Observability

In the not-too-distant past, building software was relatively straightforward. The simplicity of LAMP stacks, Rails, and other well-defined web frameworks provided a stable foundation. Issues were isolated, systems failed in predictable ways, and engineers had time to innovate on new features for the business. And it was good.

Free the data: Why US federal agencies should standardize on OpenTelemetry

In today's digital age, data is the lifeblood of modern organizations — and the US government is no exception. As agencies grapple with the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data, it is imperative to adopt a standardized approach to monitoring, analyzing, and understanding the behavior of complex IT systems. This is where OpenTelemetry, an open-source observability framework, comes into play.

Unify your OpenTelemetry and Datadog experience with the embedded OTel Collector in the Agent

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability solution that consists of a suite of components—including APIs, SDKs, and the OTel Collector—that allow teams to monitor their applications and services in a standardized format. OTel defines this data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), a standard for the encoding and transfer of telemetry data that organizations can use to collect, process, and export telemetry and route it to observability backends, such as Datadog.

FireHydrant Case Study Video: Implementing Honeycomb to Streamline Their Migration to Kubernetes

#kubernetes helps teams of all sizes optimize their #microservices architecture by enabling seamless automated containerized app deployment, easy scalability, and efficient operations. But Kubernetes also has a reputation for being difficult to learn and complex to manage, and when you’re new to something, it’s hard to know what you don’t know.

How can unifying observability and security strengthen your business?

Bolster your organization’s observability and security capabilities on one platform with AI, anomaly detection, and enhanced attack discovery Organizations in today’s digital landscape are increasingly concerned about service availability and safeguarding their software from malicious tampering and compromise. The traditional security and observability tools often operate in silos, leading to fragmented views and delayed responses to incidents.

Lumigo's Observability and Troubleshooting Platform

Lumigo is an observability and troubleshooting platform that autonomously deploys Observability in under 5 minutes with a single click, automatically capturing and contextualizing all of the metrics, logs, and distributed traces developers need to troubleshoot microservice issues in production. Lumigo is the only observability platform that enriches traces with complete in-context request and response payloads and correlates them to the relevant logs and metrics, enabling developers to resolve issues up to 80% faster.
