Staying ahead of any issues can be the difference between a swift resolution or a catastrophe. At NinjaOne, we want to arm our partners with the tools to be alerted at a moment’s notice of any potential problems with their or their customers’ endpoints. This is why we built our new notification channels feature - to help technicians proactively manage their endpoints with critical alerts no matter where they are and regardless of what tools they use.

In this article, you’ll be introduced to two tools: Speedscale and NeoLoad. Both of these tools offer you a way to load test your applications. This post will compare their ease of setup, development experience, fit within a modern infrastructure, and integration into CI/CD. Load testing is not a new concept in any way: the term was common even before Google Trends started recording data in 2004.

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have been a continuous threat since the advent of the commercial internet. The struggle between security experts and DDoS protection is an asymmetrical war where $30 attacks can jeopardize millions of dollars for companies in downtime and breaches of contract. They can also be a smokescreen for something worse, such as the infiltration of malware.

As businesses embrace cloud-native application development as a basis for modernization, the shift creates significant security challenges. D2iQ has partnered with Aqua Security to enable organizations to create a seamless DevSecOps experience that accelerates the deployment of secure smart cloud-native applications to prevent and foil cloud-native cyber attacks.

In this post, we’ll look at how to host the OpenTelemetry Collector in Azure Container Apps. There are a few gotchas with how it’s deployed, so hopefully this will stop you from hitting the same issues. If you don’t care about the details and just want to run a script, I’ve created one here.

The staging environment plays a crucial role in product development. It's the last checkpoint before the product updates are live for customers. Every successful product has a robust and effective staging environment on the back. However, the traditional staging environments cannot keep pace with the modern CI/CD workflow. This article will go through how traditional shared and static staging environments hinder faster deployments and efficiency.

One of the leading frameworks in the JavaScript community, Vue.js is a progressive framework for building reusable components for the web user interface. Its intuitive API and robust flexibility for handling front-end logic are just two of the reasons that Vue has been adopted by developers worldwide. In this tutorial, I will lead you through building a simple listing application that shows the names and roles of users. I will show you how to write tests for the application.

Today’s DevOps teams can reach project goals quickly because they rely on continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) tools that automate tasks. The problem is that there are tons of CI/CD tools out there. How do you know which one serves your team’s needs best? Jenkins stood out as a top contender for years after its release in 2011. More recently (2018), Jenkins X appeared as an alternative.

In today’s fast-paced business environment, tech startups are on the rise. Several small- and medium-scale businesses are competing with established companies to showcase their unique digital services. Heroku is a favorite among these businesses and their development teams, as its PaaS provides a ready-to-serve platform for application setup. Developers can deploy the platform easily without investing too heavily in the infrastructure and DevOps setup.

The network is designed to connect the organization’s users, partners, customers and visitors, but those connections are useless without software. While applications run on internal servers, end points and the cloud, the performance of the network in large measure defines the performance of the application, and this performance is what user experience and application experience (AX) is based on.
