Does your SCOM environment run slow? Do you have too many unwanted alerts? Are you preparing for the upcoming upgrade? Don't worry. These issues are very common and frustrating, but thankfully also solvable.

Since the emergence of the cloud, the DevOps movement, and the rise of microservices, developers have been increasingly responsible for the operation of their software. “You build it, you run it” (YBYR) and “You build it, you operate it” (YBYO) have become common mantras in the software engineering industry. However, there’s a misunderstanding in this statement. Developers should remain focused on building software.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how to build a data pipeline using Kafka, Faust, and InfluxDB to effectively ingest, transform, and store data. We’ll start with an overview of Kafka, a high-performance messaging platform, and Faust, a Python library designed for stream processing, now maintained by the community as Faust-streaming.

In today’s multi-cloud landscape, maintaining smooth and reliable connectivity requires complete visibility into cloud networks. With Kentik, network and cloud engineers gain the tools to monitor, visualize, and optimize Azure traffic flows, from ExpressRoute circuits to application performance, ensuring efficient and proactive operations.

We're excited to announce a significant enhancement to Karpenter, an intelligent Kubernetes autoscaling solution that automatically optimizes your infrastructure costs and performance. Since integrating Karpenter six months ago, it has helped our users automatically provision the right AWS instances for their workloads.

Having previously compared the top 5 Datadog alternatives and the top 5 alternatives to Honeybadger, this time we'll compare Sentry against five competing application performance monitoring (APM) tools, so that you can find the best choice for you. We'll compare Sentry to AppSignal first, then Honeybadger, Datadog, New Relic, and Scout.

Educational institutions are expanding their scope by adapting e-learning platforms and digital classrooms to their traditional classroom environment. This transition not only boosts productivity and efficiency but also opens the door for learning to take place from anywhere. However, the shift also brings new challenges, particularly in managing and monitoring the growing digital infrastructure to prevent outages.

Over the past decade, DevOps has transformed IT operations by fostering collaboration between developers and operations teams. It brought agility, automation, and efficiency to software development and deployment. But as IT environments evolve, especially with the rise of cloud-native and hybrid infrastructures, a new paradigm is emerging: GenOps (short for Generative Operations).

The changing educational environment is causing disruption. Schools and universities face increasing demands to provide high-quality support for their teachers, faculty, and leadership. Managing communication, ensuring operational efficiency, and tracking performance across departments are crucial for delivering an exceptional educational experience. However, without a centralized system, these goals are often met with inefficiencies, communication gaps, and missed opportunities for improvement.
