With the increasing popularity of Python web frameworks supporting asynchronous I/O like FastAPI, Starlette, and soon in Django 3.1, there has been a growing demand for native async I/O support in the Python Elasticsearch client. Async I/O is exciting because your application can use system resources efficiently compared to a traditional multi-threaded application, which leads to better performance on I/O-heavy workloads, like when serving a web application.

This post is the third in our Kubernetes observability tutorial series, where we explore how you can monitor all aspects of your applications running in Kubernetes, including: We’ll discuss using Elastic Observability to perform application performance monitoring (APM) with the Elastic APM.

Customers regularly ask me what types of data sources they should be sending to their SIEMs to get the most value out of the solution.

Solutions for challenging technical problems shouldn’t result in a whole set of new ones. Sometimes, we make things harder on ourselves by choosing the new hotness to tackle technical problems (such as scaling infrastructure). We may be solving our problem in an interesting and fun way, but we bring on more complexity (and more problems) as a result of that technology choice.

The way we work has fundamentally changed in recent months due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. As more employees are working remotely, organizations are looking at new ways to ensure their workers can stay productive and secure. We released Splunk Remote Work Insights (RWI) to help IT and security teams have insight into the systems that their employees rely upon while working remotely.
