In May 2020, Google introduced Core Web Vitals, a set of three metrics that serve as the gold standard for monitoring a site’s UX performance. These metrics, which focus on load performance, interactivity, and visual stability, simplify UX metric collection by signaling which frontend performance indicators matter the most.
Customer stories are one of the best ways for users to get to know a solution or tool and learn how it can solve their problems. By sharing some of our customers’ OpManager success stories, we aim to help new users and evaluators understand our solution and its wide range of functions. Let’s take a look at how Cross Company used OpManager. Founded in 1954, Cross Company is a 100 percent employee-owned engineering and automation services company.
2020 was a year of tremendous dejection and disruption. Imagine if you had told your organization’s upper management that they had to switch their 10,000 or 20,000 strong corporate office to the virtual world back in January 2020. They would have flipped. Despite all the fear and loss that 2020 brought, we capitalized on the opportunities. And even a year later, there are still possibilities galore.
Websites have evolved a lot since the first sites went online almost 30 years ago. We can now shop, interact, and engage with companies from our screens. Along with customers' online habits, the way browsers render HTML has also evolved. In the earlier days of the internet, server-side rendering was the standard way to get the HTML on the screen. Many sites still use it.
Did you know that hard drives have a recommended operating temperature range? Most people do not think about what happens when they turn on their computer or server and the hard drives begin to whirl around inside. Even if you have the newer solid-state drives (SDDs), you still need to know the recommended hard drives operating temperature. Hard drives store your files, data, operating system, and numerous apps.
If there’s one universal constant in the world of business, it’s that things will go wrong. Probably at the most inconvenient of times and in the most inconvenient of ways. It’s Murphy’s law, or, if you’re from England the much more fun, “Sod’s law”. These moments can define your business more than any other. Unfortunately, far more than usual day-to-day ever will.
“The best laid plans of mice and men, go oft awry, and leave us nothing but grief and pain” It may sound cliché but think back on the 2020 you had laid out and the 2020 you experienced and you’ll know it’s true. No matter what company you work for or what your job description entails, I’m willing to bet you had to throw a lot of good plans out the window when the pandemic hit. And if you didn’t, call me, I’d like your advice on some lottery numbers.
AWS Lambda has become a core technology in the shift to cloud-native application development, eliminating infrastructure management and fixed costs. But there are trade-offs with serverless environments. Not having access to the production infrastructure can make debugging difficult and there are a lot of moving parts, adding distributed complexity. Monitoring serverless functions in production requires observability beyond CloudWatch logs and metrics.
It’s easy to get started with Java and Honeycomb using OpenTelemetry. With Honeycomb being a big supporter of the OpenTelemetry initiative, all it takes is a few parameters to get your data in. In this post, I will walk through setting up a demo app with the OpenTelemetry Java agent and show how I was able to get rich details with little work by combining automatic instrumentation from the agent with custom instrumentation in the code.
