Introducing BGP monitoring from Kentik

Designed at the dawn of the commercial internet, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a policy-based routing protocol that has long been an established part of the internet infrastructure. Historically, BGP was primarily of interest to ISPs and hosting service providers whose revenue depends on delivering traffic.

Monitoring Application Response Times

The world is going digital with lightning speed.

What a more holistic approach to cloud-native security and observability looks like

The rise of cloud native and containerization, along with the automation of the CI/CD pipeline, introduced fundamental changes to existing application development, deployment, and security paradigms. Because cloud native is so different from traditional architectures, both in how workloads are developed and how they need to be secured, there is a need to rethink our approach to security in these environments.

Fantastic Cribl Packs and How to Export Them

In LogStream 3.0, we introduced a framework that provides a way for LogStream customers to build, reuse, and share configuration modules – including pipelines, lookups, data samples, and knowledge objects – called Packs. While each Pack has its own “context” containing custom pipelines, routes, lookups, variables, etc., it still retains access to built-in LogStream configuration that is shipped with the product.

The AppScope Origin Story

Since we introduced AppScope in 2021, we’ve been relentlessly working towards the production-ready milestone. Last week we released AppScope 1.0. It’s been a long haul getting to this point. Not really sure if it took this long because we solved difficult problems, or if we’re just that slow. Someone told me that what we are doing would go a lot faster if we use a modern high-level language. Maybe … Can you imagine doing this in TypeScript? Yeah, me either.

Deploying a React application to Netlify

React, a front-end framework for building user interfaces, uses component-based architecture and non-opinionated design principles, making it a developer favorite. React has been widely adopted and has a large community of developers behind it. Netlify is a popular framework for hosting React applications, but it does not provide your team with the highest level of control over the deployment process. As a result, you are not able to perform important tasks like running automated tests.
