With its open-source nature, PHP has evolved into one of the most popular languages among web developers. According to w3techs, 78 percent of websites across the globe use PHP as their server-side language. Even amongst the top 1,000 ranked sites, PHP is dominant, being used by more than 50 percent of them.
Reinventing any technology is an interminable process. When it comes to legacy infrastructure and virtualization, Nutanix took the giant leap to hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). Dating back to 2009, Nutanix brought in HCI with the vision to invent a better way to build and manage data centers.
Applications have traditionally been run on servers, which have to be closely monitored to ensure there are no hindrances in production. In the case of serverless computing, you no longer have to manage servers, as the onus falls on cloud service providers. Read along to discover more about serverless computing, including some of its advantages and disadvantages. So what actually is serverless computing?
Desktop applications are self-contained programs that operate without any external hosting software. While a web application typically requires a web server to translate the program into HTML content for the web browser to consume, desktop applications deliver the service directly to end-users. We use a number of desktop applications day to day, like conferencing tools, stock management software, source control desktop applications like GIT and Tortoise, photo editing tools, and so on.
Event-driven applications have become the foundation for developing modern digital applications. Application workflows are easier to automate with serverless frameworks, and Amazon EventBridge has revolutionized the way serverless applications are built. Since serverless is the new cool kid in the town, there has been a lot of infrastructure reengineering. This blog describes how alert-driven business logic can automate serverless workflows using Amazon EventBridge.
Virtual machines (VMs) are one of the on-demand, scalable computing resources that Microsoft Azure offers. They enable streamlined allocation of resources in backup, disaster recovery, and deployment environments. A VM is typically chosen when you need more control over your computing environment. However, Azure VMs come with the challenge of simultaneously monitoring them across multiple environments when the VMs are spread unevenly, with some being overutilized and others underutilized.
Proactive database performance monitoring is essential to maintain resource utilization and system performance. As data volumes grow, it is critical to monitor databases properly to deliver a seamless enduser experience, and lower IT infrastructure costs. Pinpointing database issues as they occur can assist in faster troubleshooting, and keeping the health of the application intact. Without monitoring, database outages may go unnoticed, and lead to loss of business reputation and profit.
Network device monitoring with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) gives you complete visibility into the health and availability of your network devices. Monitoring tools conduct periodic checks to gather device status and performance metrics. The device's status is updated only when a check is initiated by the monitoring system in the defined time interval. Any fault that happens in between polls is only captured when the next check is initiated.
It has been 25 years since Java came into existence, and it is still one of the preferred platforms among enterprise applications. As technologies evolved, Java's functionality and programming flexibility also matured in parallel, positioning it as a relevant language for over two decades. New memory management systems and garbage collection algorithms are an outstanding example of this evolution.
With Site24x7 Server Monitoring, you can track the availability and system-level metrics of your servers, including CPU, memory, disk usage, and more. But did you know that you can also monitor the performance of each and every service and process running on your servers? Don't fall behind Almost all applications rely on a large number of services (for Windows) and processes (for Linux) to run smoothly and effectively.
