Microservices are one of the hottest app architectures in the current market. They easily solve some of the most common problems with monolithic and service-oriented architecture. The ability to split your application into multiple smaller components and develop as well as monitor them individually opens up a whole new world of possibilities. However, this also brings with it a new set of problems. Monitoring distributed applications requires thinking outside of the box.

Visual Studio Code (VScode) is an open-source and cross-platform source-code editor. It was ranked the most popular development tool in the Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey, with 70% of the respondents using it as their primary editor.

In this article, we are going to discuss what you should do prior to selecting a new RMM software solution and how you should tackle the migration once you have.

As the container orchestration platform of choice for many enterprises, Kubernetes (or K8s, as it’s often written) is an obvious target for cybercriminals.

Now that the platform has evolved and been managed, Kubernetes services are available from all major cloud vendors, and Kubernetes security best practices have been developed and defined.

With only a week to go before the start of the 2022 American Solar Challenge (ASC), here’s a good luck shout out to the University of Calgary Solar Car team! Their race car, the Schulich Elysia, not only looks stunning, it also packs a powerful solar battery that can store up to 18 kWh of energy, enough to drive the car over 300 km when there’s no sunlight. Percepio is immensely proud that our Tracealyzer tool has been involved in perfecting this battery technology.

The Internet of Things (IoT) can be found in a diverse range of devices, including fleets of autonomous vehicles, automobiles, planes, electric charging stations, and voice controllers. These devices are embedded with gateways, electronics, actuators, platform hubs, and cloud-service connectivity, enabling them to exchange data across the physical, network, and application layers that constitute IoT architecture.

Few people can claim the moniker of “pioneer” in building the internet as we know it. Rami Rahim, CEO of Juniper Networks, is one of them who had a front-row seat in the late 90s to the infant days of building the internet.
