Exposing More Public Endpoints for Sending Metrics and Errors to AppSignal

Today, we launch a new feature: sending metrics and errors to AppSignal over our “Public Endpoint” API. AppSignal has many web frameworks, databases and background job frameworks automatically instrumented when you want to monitor a Node.js, Ruby or Elixir app. If you have code running on serverless architecture such as AWS Lambda, you can’t run our agent, so our standard integration with all of the out-of-the-box magic won’t work.

What's new in Kubernetes 1.21?

This release brings 50 enhancements, up from 43 in Kubernetes 1.20 and 34 in Kubernetes 1.19.

It’s great to see old features, that have been around as long as 1.4, finally become GA. For example CronJob, PodDisruptionBudget, and sysctl support.

Last week we released Telegraf 1.18 with a range of new plugins including Elastic Beats, directory monitoring, NFS, XML parsing and some aggregators and processors to help with your data ingestion. All of these packages were written in Go 1.16.2.
