Optimize Ruby garbage collection activity with Datadog's allocations profiler

One Ruby feature that embodies the principle of “optimizing for programmer happiness” is how the language uses garbage collection (GC) to automatically manage application memory. But as Ruby apps grow, GC itself can become a big consumer of system resources, and this can lead to high CPU usage and performance issues such as increased latency or reduced throughput.

Get insights into service-level Fastly costs with Datadog Cloud Cost Management

As your organization scales its applications across many different cloud and SaaS providers, it becomes more challenging to understand your costs. You likely receive your bill at the end of the month, meaning you don’t have real-time visibility into who’s spending what and which services or applications your teams are spending the most on. Changing service costs also makes it difficult to break down your costs and identify what is driving spend, leaving you unable to take action.

What Is StrongDM, and How dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL Supports It

Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions have become increasingly popular due to their ability to address data security concerns with flexible access control. One essential area for employing PAM solutions is using them alongside database clients (from the simplest ones to full-fledged IDEs) to ensure safe access to databases. StrongDM is a leading PAM solution that supports modern software development infrastructures both on-premises and in the cloud.

How to Get Started with GoMock

GoMock is a powerful tool for generating mock objects in Go, making it an essential asset for developers aiming to write advanced unit tests. By simulating the behavior of real objects, GoMock allows you to test your code in isolation, ensuring that each component functions correctly on its own. This capability is particularly useful in a language like Go, where interfaces play a crucial role in defining the behavior of different components.

Introduction to SNMP Monitoring: How It Works and Why It Matters

SNMP monitoring is ideal when a particular network is fully operational, and there is no problem with network instability. With it, the people who are overseeing networks are able to track various aspects of a network and access points, such as routers, switches, alerting systems, and servers, seamlessly. By passing SNMP-based management information among such devices, devices can track how things are going and resolve any problems.
