Magento is the largest open-source eCommerce platform in the world, used by more than 250,000 merchants. While Magento makes setting up a store easier, there is complexity with custom plugins and extensions, and custom site behavior. Sophisticated stores also introduce more opportunity for problems with errors, bugs, performance, and more. A critical production issue might not just cost you a sale, but also customer trust. Errors can affect your business in surprising ways.

Boston and Tel Aviv, October 24, 2018 — Logz.io, the leader in AI-powered log analysis, releases the first robust security application built on the open source ELK Stack, bringing powerful and scalable security monitoring and analysis directly into the DevOps workflow.

Facing the growing threat of cybercrime, and to answer compliance requirements, more and more organizations are looking at their DevOps and Operations teams to implement security. The term “security”, however, often triggers negative feelings among engineers. The reason for this is that security is associated with siloed, sequential and complicated processes — all roadblocks to fast development and deployment.

We founded Logz.io four years ago with a vision to provide a platform for engineers like us to operate the next generation of applications and infrastructure. As engineers, we experienced firsthand the challenges of running large-scale, open-source tools and the frustration of dealing with slow, proprietary tools which were not designed to support the rapidly changing technology stack we operated.

So much of our world has moved away from the slow and methodical, towards the agile and iterative. In transport, for example, everything is “on demand”, constantly changing and adaptable. The same is true for developers. With movements and philosophies such as CI/CD, everything is about moving quickly, yet smartly. Test automation is an integral part of this development philosophy.
