Every enterprise has its arsenal of tech tools to tackle an array of different challenges. Useful, and necessary, but often a pain to monitor. Whatever your data sources, being able to bring all these metrics into a unified dashboard provides valuable context, which in turn helps you identify and correlate problems more quickly, resulting in improved reaction time and decision making.
Route SSH connections through HAProxy using the SSH ProxyCommand feature and SNI. Did you know that you can proxy SSH connections through HAProxy and route based on hostname? The advantage is that you can relay all SSH traffic through one public-facing server instead of needing to grant users direct access to potentially hundreds of internal servers from outside the network.
Service Mesh is an emerging architecture pattern gaining traction today. Along with Kubernetes, Service Mesh can form a powerful platform which addresses the technical requirements that arise in a highly distributed environment typically found on a microservices cluster and/or service infrastructure. A Service Mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between microservices.

We gathered on February 10, 2020, for our Sales Kick off. We held it in Boston and, for the first time, had external speakers. We announced our president club destination. 2019 was a good year, and we were looking forward to 2020. When I went to visit some customers in Europe in late February / early March, I noticed the nervousness of the folks on the plane back from Barcelona. Some were even starting to wear masks. I landed in NY; everything was normal.
SaaS has rapidly become the go-to software and computing solution for businesses and industries across the world.
