Traffic-Driven Testing: All the Benefits of Shift-Right Testing with None of the Risk

Aug 12, 2024 By James Konik In Speedscale
The shift-right testing approach moves testing to later in your production cycle. Also known as "testing in production," with shift-right, you test software after it has been deployed. It gives you continuous feedback based on real-world user interactions. However, there are major drawbacks to the approach. For example, testing in production risks disrupting your user satisfaction and can mean you catch issues too late to respond to them effectively. It can also be difficult to test problems related to scale and traffic volume. Your tests are also difficult to repeat under the same conditions.

Isolating Bottlenecks: How to Determine If Your Slowdown Is Due to the Database or API

Aug 12, 2024 By Fortune Adekogbe In Speedscale
Every slowdown in your application can be traced to specific components like a database or an API, and quickly identifying the source aids the troubleshooting process. But when an API is underperforming, it may be difficult to tell whether the issue is with the API logic itself or an external service like a database that it interacts with before sending responses.

Monitoring Specific Components and Regions in Your Third-Party Services

Aug 12, 2024 By Hrishikesh Barua In IncidentHub
Chances are, most of your third-party cloud and SaaS dependencies are globally distributed and have many regions of operation. Chances are, your applications use a subset of a cloud or SaaS service. If you are monitoring such a service, why should you receive alerts for all regions or every single component in the service? E.g. if you use Digital Ocean, you might be using Kubernetes in their US locations (NYC and SFO). You would want to know only when there is an outage in one of these locations.

Introduction to K8s Horizontal Pod Autoscaling | Monitor Autoscaling in Splunk Observability Cloud

Aug 12, 2024 By Splunk In Splunk
In this video, I’m going to introduce you to Horizontal Pod Autoscaling in Kubernetes and monitoring autoscaling events in Splunk Observability Cloud. I’ll first walk through our simple application deployment definition. We will analyze the metrics of that application in Splunk Observability cloud, identifying that the application is under resource pressure. I’ll then discuss the scaling options at our disposal, and we will walk through an implementation of a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler that will automatically scale our pods according to the load they are receiving.

Why companies choose Adaptive Metrics and how they save time and (a lot of) money

Aug 12, 2024 By Quynton Johnson In Grafana
Let’s cut to the chase: Managing metric volumes at scale is hard. In fact, when we asked the open source observability community about their biggest concerns in this year’s Grafana Labs Observability Survey, the top four responses — cost, complexity, cardinality, and signal-to-noise ratio — can all be tied back to exponential growth in telemetry data.
