The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.
Kubernetes is one of the most important and influential technologies for building and operating software today because it’s so incredibly capable. It’s flexible, available, resilient, scalable, feature-rich and backed by a global community of innovators — that’s a pretty impressive list of intangibles to apply to any particular capability.
Observability is a critical aspect of modern software development and infrastructure management. It involves the ability to gain insights into the internal workings of your systems, applications, and services through monitoring and collecting relevant data. With the increasing complexity of technology stacks and the need for real-time visibility, observability has become a fundamental requirement for businesses across various industries.
Like many companies, earlier this year we saw an opportunity with LLMs and quickly (but thoughtfully) started building a capability. About a month later, we released Query Assistant to all customers as an experimental feature. We then iterated on it, using data from production to inform a multitude of additional enhancements, and ultimately took Query Assistant out of experimentation and turned it into a core product offering.
Elastic Observability is the premiere tool to provide visibility into web apps running in your environment. AWS App Runner is the serverless platform of choice to run your web apps that need to scale up and down massively to meet demand or minimize costs. Elastic Observability combined with AWS App Runner is the perfect solution for developers to deploy web apps that are auto-scaled with fully observable operations, in a way that’s straightforward to implement and manage.
Financial technology (FinTech) companies today are shaping how consumers will save, spend, invest, and borrow in the economy of the future. But with that innovation comes a critical need for scalable cloud observability solutions that can support FinTech application performance, security, and compliance objectives through periods of exponential customer growth. In this blog, we explore why cloud observability is becoming increasingly vital for FinTech companies and three ways that FinTechs can improve cloud observability at scale.
Throughout the third quarter of this year, Lightrun continued its efforts to develop a multitude of solutions and improvements focused on enhancing developer productivity. Their primary objectives were to improve troubleshooting for distributed workload applications, reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) for complex issues, and optimize costs in the realm of cloud computing. Read more below the main new features as well as the key product enhancements that were released in Q3 of 2023!
