After an exciting Day 1 and Day 2 from Integrate Remote, the floor was all set for the final day of the virtual event.

Also, we would highly recommend you to take a look at Day 1 and Day 2 blog coverage of the event.

As organizations embrace a combination of hybrid, multi-cloud, and cloud-native infrastructure to optimize business services, technology teams are struggling to control the chaos of their complex IT environments. IT operators need to piece together availability and performance data across different applications and infrastructure components to truly understand the true health of their enterprise services.

We're happy to announce that we have just launched our improved integration for the Azure Event Hub, allowing DevOps & Security professionals to send log data for analysis easier than ever. This announcement comes as Microsoft’s Azure Event Hub reaches its highest global popularity as a data ingestion service. The integration ensures best-in-class performance across a variety of use cases using Azure.

Datadog’s AWS integration brings you deep visibility into key AWS services like EC2 and Lambda. We’re excited to announce that we’ve simplified the process for installing the AWS integration. If you’re not already monitoring AWS with Datadog, or if you need to monitor additional AWS accounts, our 1-click integration lets you get started in minutes.

Selenium is a great open source project that can be useful for monitoring simple multi-page apps, but using Selenium for testing or monitoring SaaS services can be a challenge. Occasionally, our sales and engineering teams talk to prospects who say, “We have other fellas who write Selenium scripts, I’m just going to ask them to write tests for SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams or Exchange Online”. We get it: you’re trying to save your company money.

With Day 1 of the event rolled up, the platform was all set for the next day of the event. Day 2 of Integrate 2020 has been one roller-coaster experience for the attendees with some amazing sessions and certainly, loads of updates from the Microsoft Product Team and MVPs. So, for those who missed it out, make use of this blog.

This blog is an extraction of the session “Event-Driven Microservices with Azure Functions, Event Grid and Cosmos DB” presented by Martin Abbott, who is Azure MVP, Regional Director. We need to first have a deep understanding of all the services and components that are used to create the End to End application.

INTEGRATE has become part of our company culture since we started it back in 2013. We created a place for all Microsoft Integration people from across the world to get together and share experiences. This year, considering the Covid situation, we made a big decision to take INTEGRATE 2020 into a virtual conference with a new branding called “INTEGRATE 2020 REMOTE”. If you wish to get redirected to blogs based on each session on day 1 of the event, here is the quick guide to help you out.

The cloud provides a standardized approach to embracing disruptive technologies with higher agility and ease of operations. This is why most organizations have embraced cloud-based infrastructure and services for application development and delivery. However, the processes, tools, and platforms used in the application development life cycle are always evolving, allowing businesses to make the most of their cloud investments.

As a Serverless computing service, Lambda already saves hundreds of thousands of dollars for many companies out there. While traditional server-based infrastructures usually lead to overprovisioning and waste, the Serverless pay-per-use model enables cost-effective cloud spending. Nevertheless, there are still more cost-saving opportunities that many development teams miss on AWS Lambda. Optimizing Lambda functions can be time-consuming, though.
