Ten years ago, Amazon found that every 100ms of latency would cost them roughly 1% in sales. This is a pretty clear statement on the importance of user experience! It’s especially true in today’s ultra-competitive market where the cost of switching (to another provider) for consumers is lower than ever. And one of the most common performance issues in serverless architectures is related to elevated latencies from services we depend on.
How do you design a product that customers love to hate? “Hey, that thing you’re responsible for is down. Oh, and people have noticed and they’re complaining about you on Twitter. OK BYEEE!” Our customers love PagerDuty (they legit tell us this). At the same time, they hate hearing from us because it means trouble.
It comes as no surprise that the demand for Kubernetes is skyrocketing across the industry. According to the CNCF’s 2019 survey, 78% of respondents are using Kubernetes in production today. This growth is contributing to a surge of demand for talent: there are over 100 thousand cloud native job postings across Dice and Indeed alone. The talent pool of people that have worked with Kubernetes and the adjacent technologies is limited and demand is growing.

The architecture of Kibana that worked well with three apps had become a bottleneck that was hindering Kibana’s stability, scalability, performance, and development velocity.
The first HashiConf Digital event was held on June 22-24, online. The event was meant to be HashiConf Amsterdam, but the team pivoted and moved it online because of COVID-19. My employer FireHydrant was a sponsor, and I was happy to have a chance to attend. The event was very well organized, and that’s even more impressive given that the team had to shift it online.
I work at Iforium, an eGaming company based on the Isle of Man, where — for the past three years — we’d been using Sensu Core to monitor our infrastructure. Earlier this year we began our migration to Sensu Go. In this post, I’ll share a bit about our journey, offering some background on Iforium and our technical stack, our monitoring pain points, and our take on Sensu Go so far.
TL;DR: Experts working with tech companies discuss a lot about security issues, both internally and with clients. Indeed, no software program or app is full-proof. While technological enhancements help companies and individuals to perform better, they enhance the capabilities of hackers too. Naturally, everybody has to take the necessary steps required to protect their interests, and the most common yet effective way to do it is to change passwords frequently.
Exoprise recently updated the CloudReady SharePoint sensor for monitoring SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2019 Server. At the same time we separated the CloudReady OneDrive sensor to better segregate the crowd. This was a feature request that customers had been asking for. For both sensors, we upgraded the browser, improved the bandwidth (throughput) tests and a number of other enhancements. Read on for more information about new features and enhancements.
