Cloud Application Performance: Common Reasons for Slow-Downs

Nov 22, 2024 By Jörg Mertin In Broadcom
It happens often that an application, when running on bare metal, performs well. However, after the application is packed into an image, tested on Docker/Podman, then migrated to Kubernetes, performance plummets. With an increasing number of database calls issued by the application, the application response times increase. This common situation is often due to data transfer induced I/O delays.

What is an Uptime SLA Guarantee and Should You Have One?

Nov 21, 2024 By Admin In uptime
When someone visits your website or logs into your platform, they expect it to be available whenever needed. But downtime is inevitable, whether it’s an unexpected technical hiccup or necessary routine maintenance. Because of that certainty, tech vendors hold themselves accountable to their clients with an uptime service level agreement (SLA) guarantee. This guarantee sets clear expectations about how often your services will be available and what happens when those expectations aren’t met.

Adding AI to Observability 2.0 for Dynamic Observability

But, as most forward thinkers have identified now, logs are exactly the telemetry type that we need the most.
