Google Stackdriver lets you track your cloud-powered applications with monitoring, logging and diagnostics. Using Stackdriver to monitor Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS) projects has many advantages—you get detailed performance data and can set up tailored alerts. However, we know from our customers that many businesses are bridging cloud and on-premises environments.
In our world of distributed systems, state changes to your infrastructure often take some time to propagate. With a few exceptions (for example, feature flags), single point in time changes are rare. Deploys, outages, database migrations, failovers, stress tests; none of these things are instantaneous – all have some duration during which the system is changing.

Intro to managing and running a containerized Java Spring Boot application. Docker is a platform for packaging, deploying, and running applications in containers. It can run containers on any system that supports the platform: a developer’s laptop, systems on “on-prem,” or in the cloud without modification. Images, the packages Docker uses for applications, are truly cross-platform.
