The scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of cloud-based applications are well known, but they’re not immune to performance issues. We’ve got some of the best practices for ensuring effective application performance in the cloud.

In software engineering, measuring your performance gives you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions regarding your products, features, processes, and even your dev teams. Measuring also tells you if you’re on track to meet your engineering goals. Yet, with an abundance of tasks, data, and other information to keep track of, how do you decide on the right metrics to monitor?

Over the past few years, Kubernetes (K8s) has become the preferred method of orchestrating containers and microservices. Its self-healing, high scalability, and open-source nature make it appealing to a wide range of users. However, deploying, running, and scaling containerized applications and microservices with Kubernetes can be quite challenging. The Kubernetes community keeps growing, but there still aren’t that many experienced K8s engineers.

As developers, we understand the immense value of having real-time access to live traces. It significantly enhances our ability to identify, debug, and troubleshoot potential issues within applications, streamlining the development and deployment process. Today, we are excited to introduce the new and improved Live Tail feature at Lumigo, which enhances your observability experience to a whole other level.

Managing cloud computing costs is a big deal right now. For instance, 60% of organizations say their cloud costs are higher (over 70%) than they should be, according to our State of Cloud Cost Intelligence report. Over the last five years, several other studies have shown that controlling cloud spend is a top cloud computing challenge. Yet almost all organizations acknowledge that moving more workloads to the cloud is a top cloud initiative in the next year.

We built CloudZero for a simple reason: Bring business fundamentals to cloud-driven organizations without stifling innovation. It sounds simple, but for years, the intrinsic complexities of the cloud and extrinsic pressures to grab SaaS market share made it near-impossible for businesses to achieve this. Until CloudZero.
