The role and perception of IT have changed from a cost center to a revenue driver. Today, businesses that lean into IT to drive business transformations stand a better chance of appealing to their end-users than those that don’t. As the scale, pace, and impact of technological disruptions and innovations escalate exponentially, the action of IT leaders, such as yourselves, will largely determine the success or demise of a business.

Welcome to this three-part mini-series on embedded Linux development on Ubuntu. Throughout this series, we will discuss the key challenges of traditional software distribution mechanisms for embedded Linux devices. We will understand why legacy development and update approaches do not suit the Internet-of-Things (IoT) world and assess how Ubuntu simplifies and secures embedded Linux development.

WordPress powers more than 455 million websites globally (some 37% of the total) and dominates a staggering 62% share of CMS (content management systems) platforms. It also offers more than 54,000 plugins to customize your site. However, as with any new process or tech, such as your new business text messaging tool, things may not always go right.

What is Box.com? Not to be confused with Dropbox, Box is a popular cloud content management platform. But what does that mean exactly? Box's service is a platform for users to collaborate, edit, and work on various files. It is a centralized digital workspace allowing workers to operate in an environment where everything is compatible. Box enables users to securely share files and collaborate on digital projects across platforms with pretty much everyone.

In this tutorial, we will go through a working example of a NestJS application auto-instrumented with OpenTelemetry. In our example we will use a simple application that outputs “Hello World!” when we call it in the browser. We will instrument this application with OpenTelemetry’s Node.js client library to generate trace data and send it to an OpenTelemetry Collector. The Collector will then export the trace data to an external distributed tracing analytics tool of our choice.

Amazon Kinesis is the real-time stream processing service of AWS. Whether you got video, audio, or IoT streaming data to handle, Kinesis is the way to go. Kinesis is a serverless managed service that integrates nicely with other services like Lambda or S3. Often, you will use it when SQS or SNS is too low-level. But as with all the other services on AWS, Kinesis is a professional tool that comes with its share of complications.

Eleven basic checks and one status page. That’s all you see when looking over the account usage of the Uptime.com account you are now managing for your company. When you logged in for the first time you saw a dashboard with cards and metrics, labeled with titles that don’t obviously connect to services you offer. Your first clicks were to navigate to view the subscription – maybe your plan details can give you some guidance. Does this sound like you?

The software is getting more and more complicated and so is the infrastructure behind it. It is no longer what it used to be with a single web or application server and a database backing it up. Throughout the years, the infrastructure has become more and more complicated. We have multiple databases, queues, datastores, search engines, and configurations. We want to incorporate continuous delivery and automated testing and deploy everything easily.

We believe incident.io should be used across an organisation, from SRE teams to Customer Success and People Ops. Until now, the way you set up your incident response flows has relied on having one set of roles and fields for every incident, meaning you have to choose between having lots of irrelevant fields to cover every use-case, or not getting the full incident.io experience on some incidents. That’s changing today with incident types, conditional fields and roles!
