The performance of your APIs is a critical factor that influences the success of a project. After implementation, you will want to constantly monitor your APIs. You may want to monitor response time on a regular basis or you may have more extensive monitoring scenarios. MetricFire specializes in monitoring systems, including APIs. You can use our product with minimal configuration to gain in-depth insight into your environments.

As you add more panels to your dashboard, more requests are being made, potentially leading to your dashboard taking longer to load. While you can limit the data requested in each query, one of the best ways to reduce the loading time is to reduce the number of requests being made to the data source. Grafana makes a data source query for each panel in your dashboard, even if those queries are identical.

Javascript is a funny language. It claims to be (and very much is) a single-threaded language (i.e., it executes statements in order, one at a time, one after another, in a synchronous fashion). Despite just having the one native thread to work with, it somehow allows you to write concurrent, asynchronous code that is non-blocking in nature.

We at Coralogix, believe that cloud security is not a “nice-to-have” feature – something that only large organizations can benefit from or are entitled to have. We believe it’s a basic need that should be solved for organizations of any shape and size. This is why we built the Coralogix Security Traffic Analyzer (STA) tool for packet sniffing and automated analysis. Today we’re announcing several new features to our security product you’ll find interesting.

System downtime is a part of the IT infrastructure. Very often, the system goes into a snag or downtime involving an unplanned stoppage of operations. More often than not, this is a direct result of a lack of appropriate maintenance. However, the smallest of downtimes can lead to heavy business and financial losses within the company. Hence, the idea is to conduct maintenance tasks and operate the IT infrastructure to reduce potential downtimes.

Consider this scenario, your internal application and system health is in green, but your end users are reporting accessibility/availability issues. Does such a monitoring strategy serve an actual purpose? A well-built APM and infrastructure monitoring solution like Dynatrace is great for internal system health.

Galaxy: Milky Way. Planet: Earth, Solar System. Date: Year of the Rat, number 4718 from Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor. Spaceship: Pandora FMS Enterprise. Voyager 2 spaceship reports that its older twin sister is 20 hours, 46 minutes, and 19 seconds away from the blue planet at light speed. Radio waves travel almost at that speed, and although its plutonium reserve is depleted and the electronic components are almost frozen, despite all that, we receive signals from them.

Higher education is one of the many sectors facing the prospect of profound reorientation in the post-COVID-19 world. Following the government’s re-evaluation of approach, which saw students awarded predicted grades at A-level, many university leaders are concerned that taking on the extra, successful students would mean a stretch to resources – especially with social distancing and remote learning requirements needed to manage the spread of the virus.
