Rollbar Pro Tips: Merging Items
Item merging allows you to combine multiple items into one 'group' for easier management and more accurate metrics. All past and future occurrences of any merged items will automatically be combined. Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.
5 things to look for in a third-party monitoring tool
A key finding from Redgate’s recent State of Database Monitoring Survey of over 2,500 IT professionals was that 79% of respondents reported using either a third-party or in-house monitoring tool. It’s notable because it’s an increase of 10 percentage points from the same survey last year – and the satisfaction rate with third-party monitoring tools also saw an increase of 18 percentage points to 86%.
A closer look at how Puppet's new Compliance Enforcement Modules work
Since we launched Puppet Comply last year, we’ve been working hard to build out the solution’s capabilities so that we can provide our customers with more options in implementing a continuous compliance program, and become more proactive and efficient in how they manage compliance. A key activity in any strong continuous compliance program is remediation.
Observing container environments with Cloud Operations
Did you know GKE isn’t the only place you can run containers in Google Cloud? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show three options for running containers, as well as how to instrument each one for observability with Cloud Operations. Watch to learn how Cloud operations can help visualize metrics and analyze logs emitted by container workloads running on GKE, on Cloud Run, and on an Anthos cluster!
Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
Cloudflare just announced Cloudflare R2, a cloud object storage service with some incredible features. Keep in mind, it is currently in early access so we don’t know everything yet. Cloudflare R2 promises to solve three main problems that make incumbent providers like Amazon S3 more complicated: It also offers a supposedly easy migration from S3-compatible storage buckets, and automatic replication of “blobs” across the world. In this post, I’m going to cover the following:
Cloudflare R2 vs Amazon S3
Cloudflare R2 is a new cloud object storage provider with an eye towards stealing market share from Amazon S3 by offering cheaper object storage that is S3-compatible. This value proposition resonates with many developers because Amazon S3, while powerful and deeply embedded with the rest of the AWS ecosystem, is expensive to use. AWS has also not made any price reductions for Amazon S3 since 2016, whereas some of its other staple services have seen significant price reductions.
Facebook Outage: The Case for Configuration & Change Management
In the age of cloud, digital transformation, application modernization, and the mobile economy, the network is the lifeblood behind enabling excellent customer experiences. Network Operations (NetOps) and IT Operations (ITOps) teams are constantly aware that a disruption in core network systems performance can have a massive impact on their business.
Automating Cloud Security Posture Management Remediation
When we discuss cybersecurity and the threat of cyber attacks, many may conjure up the image of skillful hackers launching their attacks by way of undiscovered vulnerabilities or using cutting-edge technology. While this may be the case for some attacks, more often than not, vulnerabilities are revealed as a result of careless configuration and inattention to detail. Doors are left open and provide opportunities for attacks.
SOA vs microservices: going beyond the monolith
Modern software development increasingly relies on distributed, service-based architectural patterns to achieve scalability, reliability, and rapid build, test, and release cycles. Two of the most popular service-based approaches are service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices. In this article, we will examine both approaches to identify their similarities and differences as well as some use cases for each.
