They Aren't Pillars, They're Lenses

To have Observability is to have the ability to understand your system’s internal state based on signals and externally-visible output. Honeycomb’s approach to Observability is to strive toward this: every feature of the product attempts to move closer to a unified vision of figuring out what your system did, and how it got there.

How to create maintainable and reusable Logstash pipelines

Logstash is an open source data processing pipeline that ingests events from one or more inputs, transforms them, and then sends each event to one or more outputs. Some Logstash implementations may have many lines of code and may process events from multiple input sources. In order to make such implementations more maintainable, I will show how to increase code reusability by creating pipelines from modular components.

This is the Single Most Important Business KPI You Probably Aren't Even Monitoring

Having spoken with many companies, I’ve learned that while they all monitor their application performance, infrastructure, product usage, conversion rates and a variety of other user experience parameters, very few monitor the actual transactions from their payment provider.

Securing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in 2020 with a Cloud SIEM

As the cloud continues to expand with no end in sight, it’s only wise to invest in it. Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service bring significant cost savings (personnel and ownership), improved performance, better reliability, freedom to scale and - above all - significant security benefits. It’s no wonder that so many businesses have already adopted all three of these models.

Serverless Meetup Recap - AWS CloudFormation with Yves Gurcan

Team Stackery has been hosting the PDX Serverless Architecture meetup at our Portland office since June of 2018, although the meetup began the year before. It’s always great to see repeat visitors and new faces, and especially to see our community change over the months. In February, we had an entertaining, dynamic, and knowledgeable speaker in Yves Gurcan.

Connecting Ethereum

ETHDenver connects developers, technologists, cypher punks, coders, crypto-economists, designers and makers to build on Ethereum, making it the perfect place to debut Splunk Connect for Ethereum. The use cases we saw added observability to blockchains like Ethereum mainnet and sidechains in real time. As the event went on, use cases and requests continued to pop up (which you'll see below); the app was used to index not just ethereum mainnet, but also sidechains such as xDai and OST Mosaic.
