After a long pause, I had the pleasure to once again walk the show floors of Embedded World in Nuremberg. It was nice to meet both old and new faces, and to get a thorough update on where the industry is heading.
APIs are an important part of modern software development, allowing communication between different systems and services. However, not all APIs are the same. Internal APIs and external APIs have different purposes and characteristics that affect their management and security needs. In this article, we will look at the main differences between internal and external APIs, focusing on their definitions, purposes, advantages, and disadvantages.
This article will teach you to check disk space usage in Linux with simple commands. Learn how to monitor disk space, identify large files, and free up storage on your Linux system.
In my February 2024 piece The Cost Crisis in Observability Tooling, I explained why the cost of tools built atop the three pillars of metrics, logs, and traces—observability 1.0 tooling—is not only soaring at a rate many times higher than your traffic increases, but has also become radically disconnected from the value those tools can deliver. Too often, as costs go up, the value you derive from these tools declines.
Exciting news for cloud enthusiasts and developers! Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) is now available on Google Cloud, bringing a robust and secure platform for your cloud workloads. This latest Long Term Support release from Canonical offers a wealth of features and enhancements, making it the perfect choice for building and deploying applications in the cloud.
Effective log management is a fundamental aspect of maintaining and troubleshooting today's complex systems and applications. The sheer volume of data generated by various software and hardware components can make it challenging to identify and resolve issues in a timely manner. Open-source log management tools offer a cost-efficient and customizable approach for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing log data.
Modern-day software systems emit millions of log lines per minute. Cloud computing and containerization have made it easy to have distributed systems. Distributed systems emit logs from multiple sources. While developers have always used logs to debug stand-alone applications, centralized logging solves the challenges of modern-day distributed software systems.
Kubernetes has since emerged as “THE” container orchestration platform for deploying and managing containerized workloads as a result of its robust capabilities. However, the complexity of its architecture and its dynamic nature present significant challenges in monitoring deployed workloads and the platform itself. Kubernetes monitoring is crucial for maintaining the health, performance, and reliability of containerized applications.
In the digital age, technology infiltrates every aspect of our lives, including communication, work, and leisure. In all these cases, technology is changing and revolutionizing them. When we analyze the home as a living environment, we observe one of the most significant areas where groundbreaking technologies not only enhance ease of use and safety but also revolutionize lifestyle. Advanced technology integrated into modern homes includes smart devices managing energy consumption and advanced-level systems that integrate with the living environment.
