What are the four Golden Signals?

When it comes to building reliable and scalable software, few organizations have as much authority and expertise as Google. Their Site Reliability Engineering Handbook, first published in 2016, details their practices to maintain reliability as Google scaled. But when you have over a million servers running thousands of services across more than twenty data centers, how do you monitor them in a consistent, logical, and relevant way?

What is a "service" in a microservices architecture?

The past ten years marked a significant change in how software teams build and deploy applications. We moved away from bulky, slow, monolithic applications toward lightweight, scalable, distributed service-based applications. Meanwhile, tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and other container platforms helped accelerate this process. Despite this sudden growth, a fundamental question remains: what exactly is a service, and how does it fit into a microservice architecture?

4 Tips With Qovery To Reduce Your Cloud Costs

While the cloud offers significant benefits compared to traditional on-premise infrastructure, its inherent elasticity and scalability lead to uncontrolled costs. Cloud costs can be opaque and difficult to analyze — and without some system of identifying the source of costs and how to manage them — they can quickly undermine your profit margins. Since Qovery makes it easy to create on-demand environments, it can drastically grow your cloud costs.

How Netdata's machine learning works

In this video we will walk though the Netdata Anomaly Advisor deepdive python notebook. The aim of this notebook is to explain, in detail, how the unsupervised anomaly detection in the Netdata agent actually works under the hood. No buzzwords, no magic, no mystery :) Try it for yourself, get started by signing in to Netdata and connecting a node. Once initial models have been trained (usually after the agent has about one hour of data, zero configuration needed), you'll be able to start exploring in the Anomaly Advisor tab of Netdata.

Top 8 CI/CD Best Practices for Building Successful Applications

Developers commonly integrate the code and these frequent modifications in a central repository as part of the software development method is known as continuous integration (CI). Improved software quality, faster quality audit and bug fixes, and quick validation and release cycles are all major goals of continuous integration. Continuous Delivery (CD), which builds on top of Continuous Integration(CI), includes automating both builds and the complete software release process.

How Netdata's Machine Learning works

Following on from the recent launch of our Anomaly Advisor feature, and in keeping with our approach to machine learning, here is a detailed Python notebook outlining exactly how the machine learning powering the Anomaly Advisor actually works under the hood. Or if you’d rather watch a video walkthrough of the notebook then check out below. Try it for yourself, get started by signing in to Netdata and connecting a node.
