Whether you’re an e-commerce company, a SaaS provider, or a content publisher, understanding the performance of your website is important to everyone on the team—not just the developers. Performance is a huge part of the user experience and directly tied to how well your website achieves its goals.

The first level of the Observability Maturity Model, Monitoring, is not new to IT. But as reliable IT system operation becomes more and more critical, the importance of monitoring continues to increase.

Most Linux servers are set up with any of these variants of Linux OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), or Ubuntu. Basic troubleshooting of a Linux server’s primary metrics can be easily done using the built-in commands.

As a developer, Python for me is a heavy-lifting and versatile language. I’ve used it for building APIs, internet of things projects, file and data conversions, machine learning and (of course) web development.
