Datadog on Data Engineering Pipelines: Apache Spark at Scale

Datadog is an observability and security platform that ingests and processes tens of trillions of data points per day, coming from more than 22,000 customers. Processing that amount of data in a reasonable time stretches the limits of well known data engines like Apache Spark. In addition to scale, Datadog infrastructure is multi-cloud on Kubernetes and the data engineering platform is used by different engineering teams, so having a good set of abstractions to make running Spark jobs easier is critical.

Redis Monitoring with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

In this post, we will show you how to set up Redis monitoring with SigNoz - an open-source full-stack APM. SigNoz captures data using OpenTelemetry, which is becoming the world standard for instrumenting cloud-native applications. Apart from capturing metrics from your Redis server, you can also capture logs and traces with OpenTelemetry.

Control and Audit Remote Control Actions for Security

In an article a few months ago, my colleague covered the functionality within eG Enterprise that ensures secure and traceable audit trails for both users and admins of eG Enterprise allowing automated auditing and reporting for regulatory compliance and security, see Auditing Capabilities in IT Monitoring Tools | eG Innovations. Today, I will follow from this article and cover how eG Enterprise also controls and audits the execution of Remote Control Actions and scripts.

Introduction to Kubernetes Observability

Cloud has become the de-facto standard for new application development. Kubernetes solves many problems of modern-day cloud infrastructure. It has made microservices-based distributed software systems possible, enabling organizations to provide on-demand scaling. But at the same time, Kubernetes has also increased operational complexity. In simple terms, Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. Container environments are dynamic and ephemeral.

From Dial-Up to the Cloud: Why APM is Not Enough in the Age of the Internet

What would you be doing right now if the Internet didn't exist? The world wide web as we know it is only a few decades old, but it's hard to imagine life without it. I fondly recall the early days of the "personal" Internet, when I used a 56k modem and waited anxiously for that oh-so-familiar connecting sound to access my AOL account and check if I had mail.
