Autonomously optimize AWS Lambda deployments with Sedai and Datadog

In dynamic production environments, unpredictable traffic loads and frequent code changes can make it difficult for organizations to consistently optimize their cloud infrastructure, resulting in application performance issues, latency, and wasted cloud spend. Teams that manage large-scale cloud infrastructure deployments are often forced to tune their workloads’ configurations using a complicated mesh of script jobs—or worse, manual remediation by on-call engineers prompted by alerts.

How to track the failures in microservice applications?

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.

What the Heck Is Hybrid Cloud Storage and Why It's the Smart Choice

Cloud are on the rise! User concerns about data storage security and their need for quick access to databases are driving the development of cloud technologies. At the moment, the most progressive and convenient solution is hybrid cloud storage. The significant current popularity and predicted growth in demand for hybrid cloud technologies in the near future are not just speculation. They are evidenced by research.

5 considerations for choosing a modern PaaS

Keeping your website or app up-to-date with the latest tools, frameworks, and security compliance is important for maintaining a successful online presence. That’s why when it comes to web infrastructure, you need to follow today’s absolute best practices, so you can deliver the best possible digital experiences to your audiences. Here are five major ways you can ensure you’re running a state-of-the-art PaaS.

What are Managed Cloud Services?

The cloud has fundamentally changed how organizations work with technology. The days of an on-prem infrastructure and endpoints with a physical data center are starting to be seen in the rearview mirror by many businesses, and now nearly half of all corporate data is stored in the cloud. There are multiple factors that have caused this change and increased the transition to the cloud, but one of the main supporting factors that makes this possible is the use of managed cloud services.

Get notified on Azure app registration client secret expiration!

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.

Importing your Cloudwatch Metrics into Prometheus

Cloudwatch is the de facto method of consuming logs and metrics from your AWS infrastructure. The problem is, it is not the de facto method of capturing metrics for your applications. This creates two places where observability is stored, and can make it difficult to understand the true state of your system. That’s why it has become common to unify all data into one place, and Prometheus offers an open-source, vendor-agnostic solution to that problem.
