We’ve been working on integrating call tracing in the server to provide exact measurements of all API and DB calls. We’ve picked OpenTracing—a lovely open source project that allows you to set up trace reporting and enables you to support Distributed tracing.
For many organizations, Mattermost is valuable not just as a standalone messaging system for chatting with team members, but as a central system where conversations, tools, files, and workflows come together to help teams get work done. One of the most powerful ways to connect Mattermost with other tools and build more efficient workflows is through plugins, our system for extending and changing a Mattermost server’s capabilities.

Enterprise compliance policies begin with data. How can you better protect sensitive data—such as proprietary or customer information—by limiting access to authorized individuals? Compliance officers and IT security teams alike need tools that give them oversight and governance over user access to the company systems that store such data. Your messaging platform is no exception. Sometimes, sharing confidential information with partners and vendors is necessary to do business.
Following the record-breaking Hacktoberfest that saw more than 200 contributions to Mattermost in October, we held a virtual hackathon November 22–26. Over the five-day period, 45 members from our open source community, including contributors and staff, created amazing features and plugins for Mattermost. We were all impressed by the Mattermost Hackathon presentations last week—wow!
Since our inception, open source contributions have been integral to our business and success. This October, as we participated in the great Hacktoberfest event, organized by Digital Ocean and hosted by GitHub and this month as we host our own hackathon event, we reflect upon and appreciate our community.
It’s never been a more exciting time for DevOps. The range of community-driven, open source tools available for building, deploying, and running apps brings new sophistication and scalability—once the exclusive domain of internet giants—into the hands of virtually all organizations.
Mattermost 5.17 ships with new features that will help your team work together more productively.
At Collabora, we use Mattermost, a convenient messaging system that allows us to stay in touch all day. We also use it for sharing documents and wanted to contribute to making the document collaboration experience better. That’s why we decided to create the Collabora Mattermost Plugin, which allows users to view and edit documents directly in Mattermost.
“I love daily stand-ups almost as much as I love Agile” is something usually said sarcastically, with an eye roll. But for all the resistance that standups receive (at least among engineers), they do their job surprisingly well. In terms of allowing everyone to share their current progress, roadblocks, and questions, it’s hard to beat a daily meeting where no one is at their computer.
