Netdata just launched a Pandas collector. Pandas is a de-facto standard in reading and processing most types of structured data in Python so if you have some csv/json/xml data, either locally or via some HTTP endpoint, containing metrics you’d like to monitor, chances are you can now easily do this by leveraging the Pandas collector without having to develop your own custom collector as you might have in the past.
Kubernetes has broken down barriers as the cornerstone of cloud-native application infrastructure in recent years. In addition, cloud vendors offer flexibility, speedy operations, high availability, SLAs (service-level agreement) that guarantee your service availability, and a large catalog of embedded services. But as organizations mature in their Kubernetes journey, monitoring and optimizing costs is the next stage in their cloud-native transformation.
As a developer, I love the versatility of Python. Over the years I have used Python for so many different use cases: game development, APIs, IoT, machine learning, and web development. It can scale tall applications in a single bound and take on any challenge faster than you can pip install flask. Something you learn very quickly in the world of app development is to build everything for scale.
In the scenario where you want to execute tasks repeatedly at a specific time and have full control over when they are executed and how the results are handled, it makes sense to build this into your application instead of setting up a cron job, for example. I’d like to give you a quick example of how you can achieve this in PHP using two great libraries, ReactPHP and cron-expression. ReactPHP is an event-driven programming library that has an event loop at its core.
GitLens+ is now better than ever. When we initially released GitLens+ in early 2022, a free account was required for access to features like the Visual File History and Worktrees. Since, we’ve seen that additional step as a hurdle for you, our users, to explore and use these rich new capabilities. Which is why with GitLens 13, we are very excited to bring the power of GitLens+ features, including the beautiful new Commit Graph, to ALL users on local and public repos. No account required.
Today, I’d like to share with you a new community-contributed integration that helps you optimize and debug your Gradle builds. This new Gradle plugin is available today, is free to use, and you can use it immediately with a free Honeycomb account.
Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) offer an ever-expanding array of instance types, ensuring that for any given workload there exists the perfect hosting option that matches the exact needs of that app or business service. But with this expansion comes an ever-increasing challenge to match the workloads to the offerings – there are many things to consider.
Another ticket rolls in complaining about Teams service quality – calls keep breaking up, or the video quality regularly drops out. And when each one mentions that Microsoft Teams often does this, it’s easy to pass the blame. Sure, people jump to conclusions when they’re frustrated by tech, but the truth is that Microsoft Teams itself is rarely the problem.
