Serverless with AWS - Image resize on-the-fly with Lambda and S3

Handling large images has always been a pain in my side since I started writing code. Lately, it has started to have a huge impact on page speed and SEO ranking. If your website has poorly optimized images it won’t score well on Google Lighthouse. If it doesn’t score well, it won’t be on the first page of Google. That sucks.

So much data, so little time: How your observability tool can help teams make better use of data

Digital transformations can entail significant shifts in technology, such as migrating from on-site architecture to cloud services, and these complex transformations generate massive amounts of data. Data transparency is a must-have, and observability with AIOps delivers the solution. Through a unified view of data, AIOps guides DevOps and SRE teams through the swamp of information

How Influencing Events Impact the Accuracy of Business Monitoring

Businesses are flooded with constantly changing thresholds brought on by seasonality, special promotions and changes in consumer habits. Manual monitoring with static thresholds can’t account for events that do not occur in a regularly timed pattern. That’s why historical context of influencing events is critical in preventing false positives, wasted resources and disappointed customers.

How to Use Intelligent Query Processing to Boost Query Outcomes

Experienced SQL Server database administrators and developers spend years learning best practices within SQL Server and how to identify performance pitfalls in the query optimizer. Starting with SQL Server 2017, Microsoft introduced a family of features called “Intelligent Query Processing” to provide more consistent performance for your queries.

How Martello's Microsoft 365 Solution Supports the Return to the Office

The global COVID-19 pandemic caused a massive and immediate shift to remote work which was bolstered by video conferencing telecommunication software such as Microsoft Teams. Although the world is still trying to heal (while simultaneously navigating new and evolving challenges) some organizations have started the process of having their employees return to work and explore new hybrid workforce environments.

How we fixed a double-counting Prometheus bug while working on a Grafana Cloud project

In my role as a software engineer at Grafana Labs, I recently worked on a project that involved generating PromQL queries. One of the ways we verified the correctness of the generated queries was with a suite of integration tests. These tests would execute the generated PromQL queries against a local instance of the Prometheus query engine with some test data, and verify the results were as expected.

Distributed Tracing for C++ Applications with OpenTelemetry & Logz.io

Many organizations are moving from monolithic to microservices-based architectures. Microservices allow them to improve their agility and provide features more quickly. Although developing a single microservice is simpler, the complexity of the overall system is much greater. Here, we’ll review how to add distributed tracing to C++ with the OpenTelemetry collector and send to Logz.io. One of the biggest challenges is finding efficient tools to quickly debug and solve production problems.

Is your CDN provider delivering the best value?

In case you haven’t noticed, video marketing is on fire right now with compelling statistics around this trend hard to ignore. And for good reason — everyone from large enterprises and educational institutions to community groups and entrepreneurs are incorporating richer content into their websites, such as images and videos. Hence, the importance of choosing a high-quality content delivery network (CDN) provider.

Detect security threats with anomaly detection rules

Securing your environment requires being able to quickly detect abnormal activity that could represent a threat. But today’s modern cloud infrastructure is large, complex, and can generate vast volumes of logs. This makes it difficult to determine what activity is normal and harder to identify anomalous behavior. Now, in addition to threshold and new term –based Threat Detection Rules , Datadog Security Monitoring provides the ability to create anomaly.
