Docker 18.09 offers the possibility for a Docker client to communicate with a remote daemon via ssh. Here’s how.

The one complaint that an IT administrator dreads to receive is one where an end user says, “My application is slow!”. The application in question can be a web application, an enterprise application like SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, or a SaaS application like Salesforce or Office 365.

If you’re trying to evaluate and understand the ROI of building an observability practice and carve out a budget for it, you’re not alone. You’ve probably got some monitoring and metrics capability already, but that’s proving to not be enough–how can you empower your teams as your environment becomes too complex for the basics? And how much will that cost?

Simple enough to be embedded in text as a sparkline, but able to speak volumes about your business, time series data is the basic input of Anodot’s automated anomaly detection system.

Serverless computing is a cloud-based application architecture where the application’s infrastructure and support services layer is completely abstracted from the software layer.

Data drives every decision we make at Datadog. That includes decisions about when to leave the office to catch the train! A few years ago, Datadog engineers created MTAServiceChecker.com to provide ourselves and our fellow New Yorkers with detailed insight into New York’s subway system, the MTA.
