Elastic License Update

In January 2021, we announced that starting with version 7.11, we would be changing the Apache 2.0 portions of Elasticsearch and Kibana source code to be dual licensed under Elastic License and SSPL, at the users’ discretion. As part of that change, we created Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2) as a permissive, fair-code license, which allows free use, redistribution, modification, and derivative works, with only three simple limitations, outlined in our original announcement.

Introducing Sensu

Since 2010, it has been Sumo Logic’s mission to democratize machine data. Naturally, we tend to focus on the outcomes: reliable and secure applications and systems that are the engines of successful modern businesses. But to drive these outcomes, and before the spotlight-hogging analytics kick in, algorithms require data. And this is where the magic starts! Sensu has been working on championing a monitoring as code approach to building observability pipelines for a decade now.

Salesforce was the first of many SaaS-based companies to succeed and see massive growth. Since they first started out in 1999, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools have taken the IT sector and, well the world, by storm.

Why Elasticsearch is an indispensable component of the Adyen stack

At Adyen, we use Elasticsearch to power various parts of our payments platform. This includes payment search, monitoring, and log search. Let’s take a look at how we use Elastic for these different use cases and see how we capitalize on the power of Elasticsearch. We recently did a talk about some of our Elasticsearch adventures at an Elastic meetup. You can find a recording here.

Using LogDNA To Troubleshoot In Production

In 1946, a moth found its way to a relay of the Mark II computer in the Computation Laboratory where Grace Hopper was employed. Since that time, software engineers and operations specialists have been plagued by “bugs.” In the age of DevOps, we can catch many bugs before they escape into a production environment. Still, occasionally they do, and they can spawn all kinds of unexpected problems when they do.
