When getting started, using an Infrastructure as Code (Iac) tool might seem overkill, and something that will slow down development. Building and deploying manually is often the way to go early stage - infrastructure changes constantly and having to re-write your configuration can be a pointless exercise until you have a better understanding of the fundamental pieces of your infrastructure.
Modern video streaming workflows are composed of many different services, including encoders, origins, ad servers, content delivery networks (CDNs), and more. This wide range of options enables organizations to choose the tools that best fit their needs, but it also introduces considerable observability challenges. For instance, you may have limited access to the log data from each layer of your video workflow, and the data you can access likely isn’t standardized.
In this guide, we’ll explore the basics of using Express.js middleware. We’ll create a simple Express API from scratch, then add the middleware to it and demonstrate how to use each tool. The Express middleware tools we’re going to discuss are must-haves for your initial Express.js app setup. We’ll show you how to get started with them, and you can further configure them according to your application’s unique needs.

Kentik Synthetics is all about proactive monitoring. With synthetic monitoring, you can investigate users’ digital experience by peeling back, layer by layer, exactly what’s going on in every aspect of the digital experience from the network layer all the way to application. Because synthetic tests can be so granular, the results provide different information than you can get from flows, streaming telemetry or other observability data.
The invasion of Ukraine has been difficult to watch, and unimaginable to live through. While the primary global focus is, as it should be, on peace and safety, it’s also critical for enterprises to prepare for the likely inevitable Russian cyberattacks.
96% of companies now use or are in the process of evaluating Kubernetes. As the maturity and complexity of Kubernetes environments grow, costs quickly spiral out of control when an effective strategy for visibility and optimization is not in place.
A lot of people in technology talk about the cost of an incident solely from the perspective of downtime, or the number of customers and employees impacted.
