The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
IT is now seen as integral to business rather than a cost center ripe for layoffs. Technology, people, and culture are worth protecting during economic contractions. A recent piece in Silicon Angle by Paul Gillin said out loud what I see firsthand: Cloud spending seems immune to budget reductions during contractions in the economy.
Multi-cloud is inevitable. With AIOps, struggling in its complexity doesn’t need to be. Business technology stacks don’t appear out of a vacuum.

TL;DR: Dashbird launched observability for AWS AppSync. Additionally to AWS Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, ECS, Kinesis, Step Functions, ELB, SNS, RDS, OpenSearch, and HTTP API Gateway you can now get detailed insights and metrics in the Dashbird app for AWS AppSync.

It looks like a fantastic package from the outside.
Cloud is currently seen by some of the clients I speak with, as the answer to associated technical debt. Technical debt is like any other debt – growing year-on-year, month-by-month. Simply relocating a workload from your dated compute stack to someone else’s system or service is not a panacea to every business-led postponement.
