So, you are considering moving to the cloud. Or, likely, have already transitioned your services. If you are wondering what the next steps are, you have many options on how to move towards cloud infrastructure. This blog will cover what to consider when using public clouds. Specifically, we will focus on monitoring a hybrid cloud set up using the big 3 cloud providers, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Editor's note: This blog is part two of our series on launching an app to AWS. For the first installment, "How to deploy an app to AWS: Getting started," click here. So, your application is ready for production. You’ve taken an inventory of your applications, dependencies, and configuration. Now, you’re ready to create a new AWS account and start launching resources.

“With sustainability our primary focus, our technology strategy has to mirror our overall approach. With Rancher we’re driving real transformation to prime us for long-term growth.” – Zach Dunn, Senior Director of Platform Operations and CSO, Optoro. Have you ever considered what happens to items you return to etailers? In retail, especially ecommerce, nearly 25 percent of all goods are returned or don’t sell.

“I want to look them in the eye.” It’s a common saying about the importance of body language. In the past, that “look” might take a day of travel and cost most of a day of productivity. Today, however, modern enterprises are turning to real-time unified communication solutions to get meeting participants engaged—and cloud technology is the key.

Kubernetes adoption comes with a lot of challenges. One of them is consistently deploying applications to the platform. GitOps is a strategy which solves this problem and solves it at scale. In this blog, we will share how to leverage TravisCI and ArgoCD to design a highly scalable production-ready CI/CD workflow.

We’re excited to announce that Lumigo achieved the coveted AWS Lambda Ready designation as a serverless-first observability platform. Over the years we’ve put a lot of effort into building a product that would help the mainstream adoption of serverless technology by providing developers with the tools they need and it’s truly an honor to have AWS recognize those efforts.

Web server. File server. Email server… In this post we could review most of the servers we use every day; this world is highly interconnected on a global scale. I write these lines from America and whether you are in Europe or anywhere else in the world, you’ll use at least one server to read this and have the basic notions of what a server operating system is, but not without first knowing the background of this specialized software!

We are thrilled to announce that we have just raised a $2.25M seed round. This round is led by Accel and some great founders — including current and former executives from Vercel (formerly Zeit), Instana, Twilio and many more. Welcome, on board! Active monitoring and end-to-end testing have been silos with different tools and platforms. Modern DevOps demands a change. We firmly believe that Checkly sits at the intersection of these distinct market trends.

We just closed a $2.25M investment round led by Accel and a pack of top rate Angels. Lots to talk about, here's the itinerary: Onwards! Let's start at the end. Three months ago Checkly was a bootstrapped solo project run by me from a desk in the back of a Berlin fashion label's spare floor space (Frisur!). Now we are six people on a mission to give active monitoring and E2E testing a very serious kick in the butt. Here is a copy & paste from our pitch deck.
