Datadog is one of the most highly rated tools for network monitoring, application performance monitoring & log analysis. The platform is highly rated by engineers for its wide range of useful features, high integrability and support of both custom configurations and reporting dashboards.

Every company is a software company and every company wants to get better at it. That’s the reason we built Software Development Optimization or SDO. SDO helps you track siloed data across the DevOps toolchain. It normalizes and correlates data, provides you with DORA’s 4 key metrics and gives you deep insights into the velocity and quality of delivery across services and teams.

IT is messy stuff. Enterprise applications and devices rely on a web of interdependent clouds, networks, and containers. IT operations (ITOps), development operations (DevOps), and cloud operations (CloudOps) engineers work hard to manage this mess. If they succeed, they create a stable, agile IT environment that makes their enterprise more productive. If they fail, their enterprise becomes less productive.

Moving beyond traditional monitoring to embrace full stack observability offers a seemingly endless range of benefits. Beyond unifying logs, metrics, and traces in a single platform, the opportunity to enlist advanced analytics and engage a more predictive approach represents another huge step forward.

SolarWinds® Papertrail™ has supported Heroku almost from the beginning, as an add-on in the Heroku Marketplace and as a compatible standalone log management tool. Heroku’s focus on empowering developers to build and deliver applications by providing an easy-to-use platform as a service fits perfectly with the vision of Papertrail. Both developer-focused technologies can be set up typically in minutes, are easy to use, and offer powerful functions.

Even if an organization has developed a governance team, aligning integration decisions with business needs must be incorporated into the zero trust architecture. The company’s business model drives the applications chosen. The senior leadership team needs someone who can translate technology risks and apply them to business risks. For example, security might be an organization’s differentiator.

In today’s cloud environments, a typical observability stack might include an Elasticsearch cluster for logging, a few Prometheus servers for metrics monitoring, and an AppDynamics deployment for APM. You may run something similar – most observability stacks consist of multiple siloed tools dedicated to collecting and analyzing specific types of monitoring data.

Today was a very exciting day for Logz.io, as we held ScaleUP 2021 – our second annual user conference – dedicated to elevating our customers’ success, discussing best practices for modern observability, and unveiling Logz.io’s latest product updates. These product advancements were presented by our Co-Founder and VP of Product Asaf Yigal, and members of the Logz.io software engineering team.
