For the last five years, Logz.io has tracked and measured the pulse of DevOps, as well as adoption of key trends and technology, through our DevOps Pulse survey and report. One of the obvious focus areas for us, as a company whose products are based on industry-leading open source, is the increased rise of incredibly useful open-source observability solutions, in general.

Welcome to the 8th edition of Open Source Matters: our regular publication about the latest happenings in open source! Let’s dive into the news.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to work with the gRPC Golang library for microservice communication by creating a simple note-taking application. APIs and service-to-service communication are what make modern microservice architecture possible. REST is generally the preferred implementation pattern, but if you only use REST, you could miss out on the significant performance gains that gRPC can offer. gRPC can provide better speed and efficiency than REST APIs.

Over the last two years a series of unexpected events has scrambled global supply chains. Coronavirus, war in Ukraine, Brexit and a container ship wedged in the Suez Canal have combined to delay deliveries of everything from bicycles to pet food. In response, a growing group of startups and established logistics firms has created a multi-billion dollar industry applying the latest technology to help businesses minimize the disruption.

The latest release of Ivanti Neurons for MDM includes enhancements for managing COSU devices and transitioning to cloud-based device management.

Forethought is a leading AI company providing solutions that transform the customer experience. As a high-growth startup with 2x annual growth in their engineering team, they faced increasingly complex processes and found that what had worked in the past wasn’t going to cut it anymore.

As with organisations in many other industries, logistics services are under intense pressure to remain competitive to face severe market disruption. Disruptive innovation has reached this industry, which is currently experiencing strong inflexion points. The logistics sector is being forced to innovate as rapidly and quickly as possible. Therefore, organisations need to stay competitive and drive innovation processes.
