The New Normal for Hybrid IT Solutions

The more things change, the more things stay the same. An idiom that's oddly comforting in its assurance that everything will remain balanced and undisrupted, and the winds of change-however ferocious-are somehow futile against the staunchness of the status quo.

Why You Should Stop Hoarding Metrics

Serverless lets you deploy applications far away in a data center of a cloud provider. This relieves you of the lion’s share of operational burdens. The more you buy into your cloud provider’s ecosystem, the less you have to do yourself: no more OS updates or database bugfix installations. But you still need to do some operation-related work on your own. For instance, monitoring your application to know what’s going on in that far away data center.
