As an SRE and DevOps evangelist, I talk to many customers and prospects, most of whom run load and stress testing as part of their application delivery chain, often using JMeter for load testing. Many of them have a misconception: “I have JMeter and I am all set from a performance/ scalability perspective. I don’t need any other tools”.
More platform teams owning multi-tenant systems need a full-stack observability solution that aggregates volumes of data into logs, metrics and traces. In tandem, there’s a growing number of major players in the observability industry, including New Relic. This post will compare some key features between Coralogix vs. New Relic. We will also go over what customers are looking for when choosing a complete observability platform.
Tracealyzer version 4.8 will be released in the first week of June, with major optimizations and improvements for Zephyr RTOS, and support for 64-bit target processors (FreeRTOS, Zephyr and SafeRTOS only). In addition, the ESP32 support is upgraded to use the latest TraceRecorder library, supporting all recent versions of ESP-IDF up to v5.2 dev. Snapshot tracing is now primarily supported by the implementation for streaming mode, using the RingBuffer stream port.
Patrick DeVivo is a software engineer and founder of MergeStat, an open source project that makes it possible to query the contents, history, and metadata of source code with SQL. The security posture of software supply chains has been a significant topic lately. Recent high-profile breaches have shown the importance of managing risks from third party code. Take, for example, the Log4Shell vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2021-44228 — Grafana Labs was not affected).
In a perfect world, data would move over the Internet in real time. There would be no delays whatsoever between when one computer sends data out over the network and when it reaches the recipient. In the real world, however, there is always some level of delay when exchanging data over the network. That delay is measured in terms of network latency. Ideally, network latency is so low that no one notices it.
