The 95th Percentile: How to Manage Capacity Before You Run Out

One of the largest challenges with network bandwidth metering is the way traffic flows. Traffic comes in bursts. It’s never a constant, predictable stream of data you can measure once, spec hardware for and be done with (wouldn’t that be nice?!). Instead, you need to account for the dynamic nature of bandwidth utilization and its impact on performance. You’ll never be able to predict every burst of traffic your network experiences.

Visualizing Your Time Series Data with the Highcharts Library and InfluxDB

If you’re building an IoT application on top of InfluxDB, you’ll probably use a graphing library to handle your visualization needs. Today we’re going to take a look at the charting library, Highcharts, to visualize our time series data with InfluxDB Cloud. However, I also encourage you to take a look at Giraffe, a React-based visualization library that powers the data visualizations in the InfluxDB 2.0 UI.

Taming Rails Logging with Lograge and LogDNA

Rails is a classic on Ruby for a reason. The framework is powerful, intuitive and the language has a low entry bar. However, being designed when systems existed on a single server, standard Rails logging is excessively fractionalized. Even on a single server, a straightforward call can quickly turn into seven unique, unconnected logs.

Why DDoS remains a bigger threat than ever in the age of the cloud

Distributed denial of service attacks are one of the most established, and oldest, modes of cyber attack, dating back at least a quarter of a century to the mid-1990s. The cloud, on the other hand, is one of the newer revolutions in the tech world. While the term "cloud computing" was actually coined at approximately the same time as the inaugural DDoS attack, it is only over the past several years that the cloud has truly become a ubiquitous part of the computing landscape.

Build an Uptime Monitoring System in Ruby with GCE, Cloud Storage, and PubSub

Google Cloud Platform provides developers with many tools to build scalable apps in a way friendlier than AWS. In this article, Olasubomi Oluwalana shows us how we can use the Google Cloud Engine, Storage, and PubSub offerings to build an uptime monitoring system in Ruby.

How NaaS Can Support Development and Testing Environments

The widespread adoption of the cloud has transformed the way applications are developed just as much as it has transformed the way they are deployed and consumed. In this blog we look at how Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) can help developers support the complete application lifecycle by unlocking the value of PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service).

Turn offboarding woes into wows using Freshservice

An employee’s last day at work is almost as significant as their first one. It commemorates all the learnings, experiences, and memories they have gathered during their journey in a company. Imagine on a day like that, when you are full of nostalgia and maybe relief (wink wink), having an offboarding process that has you running around the office like Jerry can be such a mood kill.
