Managing a Kubernetes cluster requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of its complex structure. To ensure smooth operation of your applications and optimal performance, it is vital to monitor a wide range of metrics across the different components of your cluster. In this article, we will discuss key metrics that can be used to monitor both self-managed and cloud-managed Kubernetes environments, helping you to keep your cluster running at its best.

If you’re familiar with the frustration of dealing with a poorly constructed web application or the challenges of providing tech support, you understand the importance of building a high-performing and scalable web application. However, with the numerous considerations involved, it can be overwhelming to determine the starting point. This article aims to provide guidance on how to avoid common pitfalls that negatively impact user experience and waste resources.

Exploring Options for Incident Management: A Comparison of PagerDuty and Other Tools Effective incident response is crucial for managing operational issues and resolving them in a complex technology environment. With the increasing complexity of systems built from numerous services, it is important for companies to have a way to keep these systems running smoothly.

Experiencing failure at scale is as the popular Marvel character Thanos would say “Inevitable”. Memory leaks, software or hardware or network I/O failures are just a few. It’s a problem of simple mathematics, the probability of failing rises as the total number of operations performed increases. With each component used to scale the application, the failure quotient increases. So how do you tackle this so-called “Inevitable” problem that comes with scaling?

TL;DR: Data aggregation is the process of collecting and organizing large sets of data from multiple sources in order to provide a comprehensive view of a particular situation or system. It allows organizations to better understand and make sense of the vast amount of data being generated in the modern, highly connected world.

Learn how to prioritize tasks, get stuff moving by performing non-blocker tasks first, effectively create postmortems, perform RCAs faster and not have an overburdened high priority(P0) dashboard. The below article should help you plan your product/feature launch faster without having to compromise on the reliability of the existing services.

Over the last few quarters a couple of interesting patterns have emerged amongst our larger customers who are looking to catalyze cross-team collaboration during a major incident spanning members from multiple teams.

Since the introduction of containerisation by Linux many years ago, maturity has shifted from the traditional virtual machine to these containers. These tools have made application development much easier than the initial process. Docker Swarm and Kubernetes came into action when the number of containers increased within a system, they helped orchestrate these containers. A question that arises is, which one is the better option?
