Java is as old as the Internet itself. It is the child of the mid-90s and exploded into the world just as dial-up started to take over suburban phone lines. In a way, it can be seen as the original Boomer of programming languages — not as elderly ancient as the C-families, but not as young and hip as JavaScript and its multitude of frameworks and libraries either.
Though it has been around for some years now, Docker is still one of the most flexible, efficient, and nimble technologies for rapidly building environments to host software of all kinds—especially web-based applications.
If you want to ensure code maintainability over the long term, you should follow best coding practices and style guide rules. One of the best ways to achieve this, while also potentially finding bugs and other issues with your code, is to use a linter. Linters are best described as static code analyzers because they check your code before it even runs. They can work inside your IDE, run as part of your build process, or be inserted into your workflow anywhere in between.
Redis is an open-source in-memory data store. You can use Redis as a database, message broker, or cache. It also supports Lua script evaluation so you can build automation scripts or custom operations on top of your key-value Redis store. Typically, developers use language-specific client libraries when building apps with Redis. These clients abstract Redis’ command-line interface (CLI), making it easier to work with but more work to set up.
How many days off have been marred by debugging race conditions and deadlocks in complex multithreaded, Java code? You’ve probably vowed, Never again and embarked on a quest to always catch race condition errors early by writing tests and debugging. Multithreaded applications are a great way to improve performance, but they also make routine tasks like debugging a little more complicated.
We are thrilled to announce that Lightrun — the world’s first dev-native continuous observability and debugging platform — has been recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor, based on its April 28 report titled, “Cool Vendors in Monitoring, Observability and Cloud Operations” by Padraig Byrne, Pankaj Prasad, Hassan Ennaciri, Venkat Rayapudi, and Gregg Siegfried. “Lightrun helps reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) by enabling continuous debugging capabilities.
Debugging is one of the most critical aspects of software development cycles. Developers not only leverage it to find and fix errors, but also to uncover potential performance issues in the code. Being able to debug is a core skill every developer needs to have in order to provide valuable, scalable solutions.
Continuous monitoring (CM), also referred to continuous control monitoring (CCM), is an automated process that allows DevOps teams to detect compliance and security threats in their software development lifecycle and infrastructure. Traditionally, businesses have relied on periodic manual or computer-assisted assessments to provide snapshots of the overall health of their IT environment.
We’re proud to announce the general availability of Lightrun Cloud – a completely free and self-service version of the Lightrun platform. We consider Lightrun Cloud to be a major milestone in our constant journey to empower developers with better observability tooling and welcome you to sign up for a free account.
