No matter how well-designed, flashy, or useful your application is for your target users, they may not take kindly to it being slow or, even worse, crashing once in a while. You will lose customers and revenue as a result. The solution is definitely not to add additional features to the application to bring back users. Instead, it’s as simple as paying close attention to the health of the servers where your application is hosted.

In this blog, understand why your pod has OOMKilled errors when provisioning Kubernetes resources and how Speedscale can aid with automated testing. When creating production-level applications, enterprises want to ensure the high availability of services. This often results in a lengthy development process that requires extensive testing for the applications or a new release.

We are back with a simplified configuration for another critical open-source component, Zookeeper. Monitoring Zookeeper applications helps to ensure that the data sets are distributed as expected across the cluster. Although Zookeeper is considered to be very resilient to network mishaps, monitoring is inevitable. To do so, we’ll set up monitoring using the Zookeeper receiver from OpenTelemetry.

Let’s get to it! Linux is a free, open-source operating system created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Unlike other operating systems, Linux is a community-developed project that is actively supported by programmers from all over the world. Developers can freely add or modify the source code and distribute it under either the original free software license or their own custom licenses. This makes Linux an extremely versatile and adaptable platform with a wide variety of uses.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve just released SquaredUp Dashboard Server 5.6! This Dashboard Server release covers multiple features that have been highly requested by the community. Prioritizing this user feedback, we’ve added some exciting new visualizations, features and enhancements. Read on to learn about the latest updates, or catch the full webinar recording at the bottom of the blog for a detailed demo by Senior Solutions Engineer Ashley Thompson.

If you’re an InfluxDB user you might be considering migrating your workload to InfluxDB Cloud. You probably want to free yourself from the responsibilities associated with managing and serving your OSS account. Perhaps you are finding that you simply cannot scale your OSS instance vertically to meet your needs. Maybe you want to use all of the Flux functions that are available to you in InfluxDB Cloud.

You’ve been waiting and planning all year. The sunscreen is packed, the neighbors have a spare key to water the plants while you are away, you made sure to set your out-of-office notifications, and emergency contact information has been updated. It is time for vacation season!

Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is an exciting technology that provides secure, high-performance kernel programmability directly from the operating system. It can expose a wide range of applications and kernel telemetry that is otherwise unavailable. But with operating systems frequently processing very large volumes of network data, even with an efficient framework and cheap eBPF program runs, costs can add up quickly.

My team and I built Qovery to empower DevOps engineers and Developers to better work together - without compromises. In 2022, DevOps engineers need to build reliable infrastructure on top of the best cloud service providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP), dealing with security concerns, productivity, reliability, and many services. DevOps engineers are responsible for a lot of things in an organization. From CI/CD, to the run of the apps in production and the backup of databases.

It seems like everywhere you look these days you find a thinkpiece to grimly warn us of the dangers of artificial intelligence. But if you talk to anybody with an interest in the way technology interacts with human life – particularly in the world of service management – and instead of the grim pessimism of dystopian fiction, you’ll find sheer enthusiasm. There is tremendous potential for AI in ITSM.
