Uptrends has always focused on providing a quality product with solutions to solve real problems for businesses of all sizes. Staying laser-focused on our customers’ needs led to organic growth that has expanded at a comfortable pace over the last thirteen-plus years.

We are excited to partner with AWS and announce the availability of InfluxDB on the new Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public announced this week at AWS re:Invent. With this new registry, developers can now find their favorite open source products from within the AWS developer experience. At InfluxData, we believe it is important to bring our product — InfluxDB — to the platforms and ecosystems where our developers are building. And of course, many of our developers are building on AWS.

So you’re using InfluxDB Cloud, and you’re writing millions of metrics to your account. You’re also running a variety of downsampling and data transformation tasks. Whether you’re building an IoT application on top of InfluxDB or monitoring your production environment with InfluxDB, your time series operations are finally running smoothly. You want to keep it that way.

Obtaining that knowledge is easy when you have experts in your employee or on contract. For others, access to experts is not as easy to come by.

For decades, Microsoft SQL has been a leading relational database solution within Windows-based environments. The extension of Microsoft SQL support to Linux servers in 2017 made the platform even more popular. There’s a good chance that, no matter which types of infrastructure or servers you manage, there are Microsoft SQL databases residing somewhere on them. That’s why it’s critical to understand the fundamentals of Microsoft SQL monitoring.

When we decided to build Checkly's browser checks, we chose to do so with Puppeteer, an open-source headless browser automation tool, later adding Playwright, too. We wanted to support users with synthetic monitoring and testing to let them know whether their websites worked as expected at any given moment. Speed was a primary concern in our case. Yet, determining which automation tool is generally faster is far from simple.

„Thanks for coming! Thanks for supporting us as a company, as a product, as our people! Enjoy the wonderful night!“ A shower of confetti was pouring over the heads of celebrating people just as our CEO Bernd finished his sentence. „I Gotta Feeling“ by Black Eyed Peas played. The song was released on May 21, 2009. Just shortly after Icinga was seeing the light of the world on May 6, 2009. It was the early summer of 2019. We were celebrating the 10th anniversary of Icinga.
