Let’s begin with a little thought experiment. Imagine you’re responsible for the next release of your company’s flagship product, and today is the big day: you’re about to give a demo presentation for all the big shots in the company. The CTO is obviously there, since she’s your boss. The CEO is there as well, along with the VP of Marketing and some of the company’s investors. So, that’s your boss, your boss’s boss, and the moneymakers.
Even the most complicated technologies should be user-friendly.
Recently, we held a webinar where Chris Nguyen, our CEO and Co-Founder and Norman Hsieh, our Head of Business Development talked about the ever increasing production of data, the shift from monitoring to observability, and the evolution of production infrastructure into multi-cloud. LogDNA is uniquely positioned to have enabled thousands of customers to gain deep insights into their evolving DevOps infrastructure.
We recently implemented a Spark streaming application, which consumes data from from multiple Kafka topics. The data consumed from Kafka comprises different types of telemetry events generated by mobile devices. We decided to host the Spark cluster using the Amazon EMR service, which manages a fleet of EC2 instances to run our data-processing pipelines.
When you take a step back and think about society’s big technological breakthroughs — the printing press, the television, the Internet — they were revolutionary because they completely disrupted the way that the world shares knowledge. If you haven’t heard of it, knowledge sharing is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: it’s the exchange of information between different people, teams, organizations, or communities.
