StatusGator Has A New Look - Monitoring Statuses Just Got Better

Hi! 👋 Colin, the creator of StatusGator, here with big news. TL;DR We just rolled out a massive update (with 7+ new features) and redesigned the entire website. One thing we often heard from people seeing StatusGator for the first time is that it had a rather outdated look.

Monitor your entire serverless stack in the Serverless view

Serverless event-driven architectures are composed of AWS Lambda functions that regularly interact with databases, APIs, message queues, and other resources to facilitate complex workflows and functionalities. It is therefore crucial to monitor every component of your stack to ensure your applications perform optimally at scale. But traditionally, telemetry data for AWS resources has lived in silos, making it difficult to quickly get the context you need to debug issues.

Return to Office: the Vital Role of IT

18 months later, organizations around the globe are slowly but surely starting to welcome their employees back to the office – or at least thinking about it.

How to Display All PHP Errors: For Basic and Advanced Use

During the execution of a PHP application, it is possible for it to generate a wide range of warnings and errors. For developers seeking to troubleshoot a misbehaving application, being able to observe these errors is critical. Developers, on the other hand, frequently encounter difficulties when attempting to display errors from their PHP applications. Instead, their applications simply stop working.

EFS Monitoring with Datadog

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the key EFS metrics you should monitor, and in Part 2 we showed you how you can use tools from AWS and Linux to collect and alert on EFS metrics and logs.
