Microservices and serverless are both important topics in the world of cloud-native computing. Yet, although serverless functions and microservices architectures often go hand-in-hand, they’re distinct technologies that fill different roles in modern software environments. Here’s an overview of what microservices and serverless are, how they relate to each other, how they are different, and why you may or may not wish to deploy a serverless microservice.

Imagine, you are developing Java software and suddenly you encounter an error? Where could you have possibly gone wrong? There are many types of errors that you will encounter while developing Java software, but most are avoidable. Some errors are minor lapses when writing codes but that is very much mendable. If you have an error monitoring tool such as Stackify Retrace, you can write codes with ease.

And that was February! A month where a rover showed what perseverance means and a small drone what ingenuity looks like. February will be remembered as the month where two robots landed on Mars, telling us all to “dare mighty things”.

On Wednesday 17th March, globally used DNS provider Network Solutions experienced the dreaded downtime we all hope to avoid. Starting at 4am Eastern time and continuing through to Thursday 18th with still no resolution, it’s affected thousands of people across the world. Network Solutions are the 4th biggest domain registrar in the world, with nearly 7 million users worldwide.

Did you know that you could configure PA Server Monitor’s Event Log Monitor feature to monitor one or more of your event logs? The event logs can include standard application, security, and system logs, as well as any custom event logs you want to monitor. With our server monitoring software, you have complete control and flexibility over the types of events you want to monitor.

Automation of operational tasks frees the workforce to strategize and innovate in their respective quarters and develop new mechanisms to accelerate an organization’s overall performance. That paved way for low code platforms to become a new reality in the realm of app development. Microsoft’s Powerapps is one such platform whose usage has flared up in recent years as a solution that enables app building with zero knowledge of codes and programming.

Returning to the workplace post-COVID-19 will require a careful balance of coordination, sensitivity, and logistics. You may be grappling with questions such as: Our Back to Work webinar series can help you think through these questions and more to ensure proper COVID management once you’re back in the workplace.

If you are a .NET developer, monitoring runtime metrics can help you troubleshoot bugs and detect resource inefficiencies in your applications. With Datadog, you can easily collect, visualize, and alert on key .NET runtime metrics, including exceptions, garbage collection statistics, thread count, and more. We have fully integrated .NET runtime metrics into Datadog APM so that you can easily view them alongside your distributed traces, logs, and other telemetry.

Kamon APM wakes up today with a new home page for all your observability data: the all-new Kamon APM Service Map! The Service Map shows a real-time representation of all your microservices and the dependencies between them, combined with health status and easy access to the most important bits of data from your entire infrastructure.

Setting up a proper monitoring overview over your application’s performance is a complex task. Normally, you’d first need to figure out what you need to monitor, then instrument your code, and finally make sense of all the data that has been emitted. However, with a few things set in place, and an APM that natively supports Ruby, it’s easier than ever to take this step. In this post, we’ll show you how you can do it too.
