DevOps

Today Enterprise IT does not question the value of containerized applications anymore. Given the move to adopting DevOps and cloud native architectures, it is critical to leverage container capabilities in order to enable digital transformation. Google’s Kubernetes (K8s), an open source container orchestration system, has become the de facto standard — and the key enabler — for cloud native applications, and the way they are architected, composed, deployed, and managed.

We’re excited to announce today that we’ve added support for the latest version of the Google Cloud Security Command Center (Cloud SCC). StackRox has collaborated with the Cloud SCC team as part of our Google Cloud partnership since Cloud SCC’s alpha release, and we’re excited that the platform is now generally available.

The .NET framework is undoubtedly a powerful tool to build applications with. Incorporating it on serverless platforms unlocks myriads of architectural and cost benefits. However, the serverless ambitions of .NET developers are often dashed by unendurable cold start durations. This is mainly attributed to how .NET assemblies are jitted, among other issues.

Forrester Research has released The Forrester Wave™: Intelligent Application & Service Monitoring, Q2 2019 report and I am excited to share that Devo has been identified as a Strong Performer. Devo’s recognition as a Strong Performer is, in our opinion, a great validation of our data-first approach.

We are excited to be recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Intelligent Application and Service Monitoring, Q2 2019. It covers vendors from infrastructure and cloud monitoring, application performance monitoring (APM) and AIOps. Rather than publishing a separate Wave for each of these vendor categories, we believe that this report creates a combined market category based on how solutions solve customer problems rather than on how technology vendors create market spaces.

Ever wish you could monitor the total number of widgets produced by your service since the actual beginning of the day in New York, rather than interpret a sum calculated over, say, the last 10 or 24 hours? What about a real-world view of the SLA for a service you manage, showing the maximum latency reported for closed months and quarters, with the results neatly plotted at the ends of those months and quarters?

CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, terms often used in modern software development. Continuous Integration is the practice of merging all of a developer’s working copies to a shared repository multiple times a day. The main idea behind this is to prevent “integration hell”.

At Stackery, our engineers live and breathe serverless development every day. Because of this, we are constantly evaluating the current soundbites about it; when a field is expanding this quickly, it’s not uncommon to hear a generous handful of misguided assumptions. So, despite the increasing influence of cloudside development, there are still a number of declarations published every week that seem to amplify some common and outdated misconceptions.

At IOpipe, we’re excited to announce an enhancement to our serverless logging feature: Integration with AWS CloudWatch Logs. With a click of a button, you can now enable a new AWS integration on your IOpipe dashboard that will instantly unlock access to your CloudWatch logs for each and every AWS Lambda invocation you observe and monitor with IOpipe.
