Enterprise use of Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Services is expanding at an unprecedented rate as cloud computing usage expands. However, enterprises that have recently switched to Azure continue to have serious concerns about monitoring their applications efficiently. As the business overgrows, it is essential to understand its functioning and health simultaneously.

In modern times, building and publishing an application has become very easy with Cloud-based deployment. Users don’t need to worry about infrastructure-related challenges like availability, reliability, scalability, etc. The cloud providers are responsible for keeping the deployment flow simple and intact. Providing many advantages and coherence, the high cost incurred for such benefits is the downside.

With the dawn of microservices and serverless, event-driven architectures have become the way to go when building a new system in the cloud. This approach has allowed for greater scalability, as the system can easily adapt and respond to changes in traffic or demand without having to overhaul the entire architecture. Additionally the Event-driven approach means your application is mainly concerned with routing event data to the right services.

Microservices architecture (often shortened to microservices) is an architectural style for developing applications. Microservices allow a large application to be separated into smaller independent parts, each having its own realm of responsibility. To serve a single user request, a microservices-based application can call on many internal microservices to compose its response. It is critical to track failures in microservice to take corrective actions and keep the business process ongoing.

Azure AD app registration identities are used to provide access to specific resources in Azure. We use some App Registrations in Azure, for example, the security concerns, many organisations dislike enabling users to build Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Service Principals (SP). Building a manual process, on the other hand, might be a bottleneck and a time sink. However, you can build an Office365 form for users to request AAD application registration.

In this blog, we will explore how distributed tracing works in Application Insights and how to use it to diagnose the issues in a distributed application. Azure Application Insights is a powerful tool for monitoring and diagnosing application performance issues and supports distributed tracing. It is an extension of Azure Monitor and provides Application Performance Monitoring features out of the box.

Instrumenting your code is essential to understanding your system’s performance and diagnosing issues as they arise. Traditionally, this was accomplished using proprietary vendor libraries, causing major lock-in. Enter OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project that provides a set of APIs, SDKs, and integrations for instrumenting code.

Today I’m going to speak about another important Best practice, Tips and Tricks that you need to consider while designing and enhancing your business processes (Logic Apps): The if() expression function.

Serverless developers are undoubtedly familiar with the challenge of cold starts, which describe spikes in latency caused by new function containers being initialized in response to increasing traffic. Though cold starts are usually rare in production deployments, it’s still important to understand their causes and how to mitigate their impact on your workload.

This article explains what Azure Hybrid Integrations is, what are, all the challenges faced by the users in monitoring the Hybrid integration solutions, and what are all the available solutions to monitor the Hybrid integration solutions.

Cost optimization reduces costs while still achieving the same or higher output quality. It involves looking at all business areas, from labor costs to production inputs, to identify areas where costs can be reduced and more efficient.

What is Azure Kubernetes Service? Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a fully managed open-source container orchestration service offered by Azure. Provisioning, scaling, and upgrading resources can be done without causing downtime with Azure Kubernetes Service. Container orchestration in Kubernetes enables deployed application components to be isolated in distinct containers that can scale independently. A cluster made up of these containers functions as a microservices-based software product.

Document360 is one of the leading knowledge base platforms in the market, with over 1000 enterprise customers. The initial version of Document360 was released in the year 2017. Due to the simple and elegant user experience and competitive feature set, it gained the traction of many customers in the market, leaving it to become one of the category’s top tools.

In this blog, we look at the importance of viewing Azure end-to-end transactions from the perspective of a business user, the overall benefit of Business Application Monitoring, and how Serverless360 BAM can help your organization by providing business insights in your Azure integration transactions.

In my last blog post, I discussed How you could access runtime settings like the Subscription Id or the Resource Group in Logic App Consumption. I mentioned there that this differs from Consumption to Standard since they have different engines. So today, in this second part, we are going to address: How to access runtime settings inside Logic App Standard.

This tutorial covers how to perform downsampling with the new InfluxDB storage engine, InfluxDB IOx, in InfluxDB Cloud (available on AWS us-east-1 and AWS eu-central-1 starting January 31st) using AWS Lambda. This tutorial describes how to: InfluxDB IOx addresses key user needs including (but not limited to): We achieved these goals by building InfluxDB IOx on the Apache ecosystem (Apache Parquet, Apache DataFusion, Apache Arrow, and Apache Flight SQL).
