The software development life cycle is by no means a short or easy process. From project design to post-production monitoring, each stage of the life cycle comes with its own set of workflow-related demands. Teams must develop adaptable yet agile workflows to prioritize efficiency while simultaneously ensuring a positive developer experience. Thankfully, there is no shortage of tools to boost productivity in software development team workflows.

The absence of topology can be a key inhibitor for AIOps tools, creating blind spots for AIOps as they only have access to event data. A topology, an IT service model, or a dependency map is a real-time picture of tools and services that are connected and dependent on each other to deliver an IT service. Suppose an application is driven by cloud-native technology, connected with any kind of ephemeral systems (containers and microservices), and relies on storage, database, and a load balancing tool.

When it comes to making a performant Apache Kafka® cluster, partitioning is crucial. Read this article to learn which tools you can use to partition your data.

If you're already versed in the changes to the traditional IT service management (ITSM) best practices that came with ITIL 4, you'll know that change management is now called change enablement, and there's minimal mention of the Change Advisory Board (CAB). But what does this mean for your IT organization? Do we still need the Change Advisory Board? Should we drop the CAB (if we had one)? Should we ignore ITIL 4's new change enablement guidance?

For several decades, IT monitoring has been deployed in different forms. The focus of IT monitoring has been to gather metrics about the operations of an IT infrastructure’s hardware and software assets to ensure that all the key functions are being performed as expected to support applications and IT services. In the recent past, the term Observability has been used as a synonym for “modern monitoring”.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers 100+ services, each focusing on a specific area of functionality. However, it can be challenging to pick the right services for the task and also to provision them. AWS Elastic Beanstalk, lets you easily deploy and manage applications without the need to learn about the underlying infrastructure that runs these applications.

The best part of my job is talking to you, our prospects, and customers, about your logging and data practices. I love listening to what you are doing and hope to accomplish, so I can get a sense of the end state. My goal is to brainstorm solutions that provide overall value across the enterprise, and not just aim for a narrow tactical win with limited impact. In late September, I hung out at a local DevOps conference in Brooklyn with the NYC Cribl sales team.

According to Veeam’s 2022 Ransomware Trends Report, less than 69% of data stolen during ransomware attacks in 2021 was ever recovered. Ransomware is big business for bad actors. In 2021, the average ransom demand was $247,000, up 45% higher than the previous year. Considering that 76% of the victim organizations surveyed admitted to paying the ransom, it’s likely that the total cost of ransomware to businesses globally was in the billions.
