At LogDNA, we’re all about speed. We need to ingest, parse, index, and archive several terabytes of data per second. To reach these speeds, we need to find and implement innovative solutions for optimizing all steps of our pipeline, especially when it comes to storing data.
My career as a software engineer started in 2007 at Purdue University. I was working in the Linux kernel and researching how data was shuffled between the kernel and the user application layers. This was happening in huge clusters of machines that all talked to each other using OpenMPI — how supercomputers, like those at Los Alamos National Labs, operate to perform their enormous calculations around meteorology, physics, chemistry, etc.
This blog post is a companion piece for my talk at https://devopsdaysindia.org. I will discuss the motivations, architecture, and the future of logging in Grafana! Let’s get right down to it. You can see the slides for the talk here.
Interested in Learning the Elixir language? Join us in this entertaining Elixir tutorial and overview. This post will spin a yarn about an ambitious wizard, Alatar, and his quest to revamp a magic web storefront using Elxir. We will observe Alatar decide on Elixir as his development platform, and follow him on the journey of learning and implementation. Along the way, he will utilize several frameworks written for Elixir (including Phoenix, Ecto, and Poison).
We've been fairly public about the amount of testing we have for Oh Dear!. Freek has been showing bits and pieces on his Twitter to show the extent of that effort. Having a huge test suite is nice, but integrating it into your development workflow is even better.
Epsagon helps troubleshoot serverless applications. Sentry helps monitor and fix crashes in real time. In this post, Raz Lotan, Software Engineer at Epsagon, uncovers how both tools blend to make the perfect workflow for debugging serverless applications.
Today at Kubecon we announced the availability of IBM Cloud Monitoring with Sysdig. Together, IBM and Sysdig have launched this new offering to provide a fully managed enterprise-grade monitoring service for cloud-native applications on IBM Cloud. If you build, ship, and run applications on IBM Cloud, you now have direct, integrated access to Sysdig Monitor.
Ankur Agarwal, Rancher's Head of Product Management, describes new features in Rancher 2.2. Learn how to monitor multiple Kubernetes clusters in this step-by-step tutorial and how our Alpha Release process works.
For more than 20 years, Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) has been an innovator and leader in information and communication technology to reduce disaster risk and provide humanitarian assistance to those around the world affected by natural disasters.
A little over a month ago, Jeremy Daly introduced the concept of the #serverless bubble coming out of #ServerlessNYC. In his tweet he said “if you’re in it, a serverless solution seems intuitive. If you’re not, the paradigm shift can seem overwhelming (& unapproachable).”
