RAN has incrementally evolved with every generation of mobile telecommunications, thus enabling faster data transfers between user devices and core networks. The amount of data has increased more than ever with an increase in the number of interlinked devices. With existing network architectures, challenges lie in handling increasing workloads with the ability to process, analyse and transfer data faster. The 5G ecosystem requires virtual implementations of RAN.

Monitoring HTTP sessions offers a potentially powerful way to gain visibility into your web servers, but in practice, doing so can be complex and resource-intensive. Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology allows you to overcome these challenges, giving you a simple and efficient way to process application-layer traffic for your troubleshooting needs.

Development operations (DevOps) combines best practices, cultural transformation, and tools to improve your organization’s software development and delivery velocity. Teams can employ DevOps regardless of an organization’s size and continuously deliver new software features, updates, and patches to enhance software quality and customer experiences.

Load testing is one of the most common ways to test the resiliency of your applications. In this blog we show how recording production data with Speedscale and exporting to a K6 load tests gives you the best of both worlds. Whether or not it’s important for your organization, there are clear benefits to be had from implementing these types of tests. By doing so, you can: When it comes to load testing, two of the most modern tools are Speedscale and K6.

The trend of Platform Engineering is now gaining momentum, which analysts and industry experts refer to as one of the most disruptive philosophies of the moment. But regardless of experts’ predictions and assumptions, what matters for organizations today is understanding what adopting an approach such as Platform Engineering actually entails, what a successful solution looks like, and how to adopt best practices for its implementation. That's what this article is about.

Vulnerabilities are part and parcel of the software development life cycle. If left untreated, they can expose your application to malicious attacks, which can be detrimental to its functioning and reliability. To avoid severe damage and complications that arise from having the vulnerabilities exposed, it is good practice to set up a vulnerability management system.

A lot of organizations are using Grafana to visualize information and get notified about events happening within their infrastructure or data.
