Docker logging best practices

When an application in a Docker container emits logs, they are sent to the application’s stdout and stderr output streams. The container’s logging driver can access these streams and send the logs to a file, a log collector running on the host, or a log management service endpoint. In this post, we’ll explain how the driver you choose—and how you configure it—influences the performance of your containerized application and the reliability of your Docker logging.

Four reasons why SMBs need network monitoring

As businesses grow, so do their networks and the challenges that come along with managing them. For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), however, tight budgets and fewer resources make it even more challenging for network admins to manually track and monitor all network elements. Without a proper tool in place, even simple issues like poor internet connectivity and network outages can bring down a service.

How to Get Your Elixir Application Ready for CI/CD

In today’s post, we’ll go over what continuous integration and continuous delivery are, the benefits that come along with employing CI/CD, and some best practices that you should follow. We’ll also explore a wide array of Elixir ecosystem tools that can help you create top-notch CI pipelines. In order to experiment with a handful of the tools that we will be discussing, we’ll use a Git hooks Elixir library to execute our CI/CD validation steps, but on our local machine.

Localizing Matterpoll

Because we rely on contributors to do the translations, we want to make it easy for them to translate new strings and determine whether already translated strings need to be updated because the “source” text changed.

How Can CIOs Seize the Moments That Matter in a Complex World?

Everybody puts value on work. But not all work is the same or valued in the same way. What if we told you there’s a way to gain/protect up to $1 million in new revenue, reduce unplanned downtime by more than 60%, and improve team productivity by nearly 25%? This is where the differentiation of work comes in. Most of our day-to-day work is planned out; i.e., it’s work with structure.

Performance Monitoring: Are All Ecommerce Metrics Created Equal?

Number of sessions, total sales, number of transactions, competitor pricing, clicks by search query, cart abandonment rate, total cart value…the analytics tools commonly used by eCommerce companies for performance monitoring can’t include every metric, and even if they did the analysts using them wouldn’t be able to keep up with the amounts of changing data.
