Monitoring CPU Temperature with Hosted Graphite

Monitoring CPU temperature is crucial for ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of computer systems. As processors become more powerful, they generate more heat, which can lead to performance issues, system instability, and even hardware damage. Overheating is a common problem faced by many computer users, especially those who engage in resource-intensive tasks like gaming or running complex software.

Internal Developer Platform: What's the ROI?

Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a game-changing innovation that has transformed the technology landscape. In the previous article, we discussed in detail the effectiveness of these developer platforms in terms of developer efficiency, faster product releases, frequent collaboration, etc. However, one aspect that is of paramount importance, especially from the business perspective, is the ROI. The first question any manager will ask is, "What will be the ROI of investing in an IDP"?

Learning Flows: Bringing consistency to your post incident processes

To get the most out of your incident response processes, consistency is crucial. The more predictable you can be whenever issues crop up, whether a small bug or a major outage, the quicker and more confidently you can respond. In practice, incident response is equal parts knowing how to actually resolve the issue and having the confidence that the processes in place will help get you through without added stress.

Grafana and Graphite Best Practices

Efficient monitoring and visualization of performance metrics are paramount for ensuring seamless user experiences and reliable system operations. Grafana and Graphite, two powerful open-source tools, form an unbeatable combination when it comes to monitoring and analyzing time-series data. Grafana provides a robust and flexible platform for visualizing data, while Graphite acts as a scalable and efficient backend for storing and retrieving metric data.

Introducing GitKraken's New Suite of Dev Tools

Hey, Matt from GitKraken here. I’ll admit, we’re a tad obsessed with developer productivity. Tools like GitKraken Client and GitLens are great for helping any developer go further, faster. But building software is most often a team sport. So over the past year, customers of all sizes have been imploring us to fill two important voids.

Securely Connect Cloudsmith to your CI/CD using OIDC Authentication

Are your CI/CD pipelines at risk? They might be if you use long-lived, static credentials and tokens. Long-lived, static credentials and tokens are one of the most common causes of data breaches in cloud environments. CI/CD tools need access to cloud services to publish artifacts, deploy software, and access resources on their cloud provider. So, they need credentials. It's tempting to hard-code them. But that's a bad idea.

Partner Watch: CI/CD Build Systems for Embedded Development

To excel in embedded development in 2023, it is essential to have a solid understanding of build systems, continuous integration, and deployment strategies. This workshop by Percepio training partner Jacob Beningo aims to provide a comprehensive primer on these practices, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex firmware projects with confidence.
