Demystifying Java Lambda Expressions

SRE and IT Operations play a critical role in ensuring reliable, high-performance applications. Yet, SREs (Site Reliability Engineers) often face ‘thrown-over-the-wall’ code deployments to operate without having insights into the code-level features. In my previous article (“Is your Java Observability tool Lambda Expressions aware?”), I delved into one such code-level feature: Java lambda expressions which replace anonymous inner classes.

Bridging the Gap: Overcoming Communication Challenges Between Helpdesk, SREs, IT Teams, and Database Administrators

One area where communication breakdowns commonly occur is between helpdesk / IT teams / SREs and database administrators (DBAs), especially when troubleshooting application problems associated with databases. Smooth communication between different teams is key to resolving application performance issues efficiently and speedily. However, it is usually inappropriate for helpdesk staff to have access to the database monitoring privileges and tools used by DB administrators.

Our end-to-end unified monitoring and root-cause analysis platform supports all major database technologies. Over recent years, we have witnessed a significant shift from traditional on-premises databases to more dynamic, scalable solutions.

Detecting PowerShell Exploitation

In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations. Hackers are continuously finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise systems. PowerShell, a powerful scripting language and automation framework developed by Microsoft, has unfortunately become a favored tool among attackers due to its capability to run.NET code and execute dynamic code downloaded from another system (or the internet) and execute it in memory without ever touching disk.

5 Ways AIOps Monitoring Benefits EUC Environments

The adoption of AIOps monitoring technologies has been somewhat slower in EUC than many other areas of IT. The legacy VDI and DaaS vendor tools set expectations low for many. It is still relatively common for us to come across potential customers who are using legacy tools and manually exporting 6 months of data into an excel spreadsheet to try and work out average and peak usage of resources such as CPU to then manually calculate alert thresholds.
