As we all know, the on-demand capacity mode of DynamoDB is great but can be cost-prohibitive in some cases (up to seven times more expensive than the Provisioned Capacity mode). The Provisioned mode, on the other hand, shifts to the development team the burden of predicting what level of capacity will be required by the application. And it’s not quite as straightforward to achieve the same level of scalability in the Provisioned mode as we enjoy in the On-demand one.

As the shift to cloud, modern app architectures and technology stacks continue to accelerate, the demand for real-time analytics to monitor, troubleshoot, secure and speed new innovations to these environments is also accelerating. So, we're not surprised to see demand for continuous intelligence—what we define as: real-time analytics from a cloud-native platform, supporting multiple use cases—is also accelerating.

Logs are valuable. Logs generated by a major backend resource that provides clients with access to crucial data are more than just valuable; knowing where they are and being able to manage and understand the information that they contain can mean the difference between smooth, secure operation and degraded performance or even catastrophic failure for your application. MySQL Server produces a handful of basic logs.

Energy storage and sustainability are big issues in Hawaii, where oil tankers are shipped in everyday, just to keep the lights on. Resiliency in the energy grid, due to threat of natural disaster, is critical. Energy storage is needed to manage how much solar energy is coming into the market or into the grid. Properly managing the power entering the grid is vital for grid stability since Hawaii has intermittent energy that floods the grid.

Elastic is prepping for Elasticsearch 8.0, but in the meantime is rolling out upgrades and features with Elasticsearch 7.7. The new version introduces asynchronous search as well as changes with Elasticsearch clusters, mapping, SQL enhancements, snapshots and machine learning. This post will cover just a few of the highlights of the new release. Besides asynchronous search, ES 7.7 also introduces multi-class classification, reduced heap usage, inference time features, and better password security.

Introduction One of the SRE team’s goals at Moogsoft is to make sure our feature teams have an easy path from local code changes to production. Changes rolling out to production mean new features, bug fixes, optimizations, and more, which translates into value added for our customers. In short, at Moogsoft we are all about making sure our product is continually evolving, and one way the SRE group helps is by building shared Jenkins functionality our engineers understand and can use quickly.

The trend of working from home has hit the ground running, and businesses have turned to strategies and tools that will ensure a no-plummet productive environment. There are two major forks in the road when it comes to provisioning remote endpoints—users can use their own devices, or the company can hand over corporate-owned devices.
