PD Summit21: Transforming Infrastructure Teams Through Observability

Jul 22, 2021 By PagerDuty In PagerDuty
What is this ""observability"" thing that everyone is talking about? Observability allows you to navigate the dark unknowns with echolocation while others attempt to fly blindly without it. Are your dashboards all green, but you still have an issue brewing? Do you need instant feedback based on the Core Analysis loop? Are your engineers tired of waking up at 3 AM for the expected issues? Is there a lack of time for experimentation? Generate your own answers and create a meaningful course of action with observability.

PD Summit21: Adopting and Maturing to Service Ownership with PagerDuty and Rundeck

Jul 22, 2021 By PagerDuty In PagerDuty
Among the common goals of today's engineering and operations teams is to adopt a culture of service ownership: ""You build it, you own it."" As with many ancillary objectives to driving DevOps across an organization, this is easier said than done. Sometimes this is in small part due to the technology stack/architecture of a given company. But more often than not, this is because teams lack the human-to-technology mechanisms that allow for a culture of service ownership.

Jul 22, 2021 By Shaun Duncan In Speedscale

In the CNCF ecosystem, Envoy, an open source service proxy developed by Lyft, is a very common choice in service mesh networking. In a previous post we discussed that both Consul and Istio leverage Envoy. Were you aware that you can extend Envoy’s capabilities with WebAssembly? What is WebAssembly?

How to encourage DBAs to embrace DevOps, rather than fear change

Jul 22, 2021 By Kendra Little In Redgate
How do we help Database Administrators (DBAs) embrace DevOps in a way that can be really productive and part of a rich DevOps team that delivers value to customers quickly and continuously? That’s an important question to ask right now because there’s a common view among DBAs that DevOps isn’t for them.

We just announced the creation of a new RemoteWrite SDK to support custom metrics from applications using several different languages. This tutorial will give a quick rundown of how to use the Python SDK. Using these integrations, Prometheus users can send metrics directly to Logz.io using the RemoteWrite protocol without sending them to Prometheus first.
