Platforms All The Way Up & Down

All businesses today are built on layers of platforms. The app running your business is built on top of the Kubernetes application deployment platform, running on the AWS cloud platform. AWS is built on top of platforms such as the Linux operating system and the Intel X86 processor architecture. Smartly managed, a good product evolves into a platform for users to extract value and for developers to create new products and platforms. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

What is Serverless and AWS Lambda?

Serverless computing is a cloud-based application architecture where the application’s infrastructure and support services layer is completely abstracted from the software layer. Any computer program needs hardware to run on, so serverless applications are not really “serverless” - they do run on servers - it’s just that the servers are not exposed as physical or virtual machines to the developer running the code.

How Sumo Logic Maps DevOps Topologies

A few years ago, our UX team created personas for Sumo Logic. The intention with the personas was to capture the mindset of our different users and to create a common vocabulary throughout our organization.

The Key Message from KubeCon NA 2018: Prometheus is King

I made the trip up to Seattle for KubeCon North America at the end of 2018 along with a bunch of us from Sumo Logic. KubeCon is a conference that specializes in all things Kubernetes and focuses on updating the world on the state of the Kubernetes ecosystem. This year’s event was massive with 8,000 attendees, and talks given by representatives from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure to name a few big wigs that were there.

Recapping the Top 3 Talks on Futuristic Machine Learning at Scale By the Bay 2018

As discussed in our previous post, we recently had the opportunity to present some interesting challenges and proposed directions for data science and machine learning (ML) at the 2018 Scale By the Bay conference. While the excellent talks and panels at the conference were too numerous to cover here, I wanted to briefly summarize three talks in particular that I found to represent some really interesting (to me) directions for ML on the java virtual machine (JVM).

Sumo Logic Experts Reveal Their Top Enterprise Tech and Security Predictions for 2019

We finally made it to another new year, and that means it’s time to reflect on the learnings from the previous year while also preparing for many new opportunities and challenges ahead. The enterprise tech and security industry didn’t seem to slow in 2018, so there’s no reason we would expect 2019 to be any different. So what will those “hot button” topics be this year?
