We’ve officially made it past day 100 in quarantine. I hope you’ve found your groove, perfected your at-home office/workspace, learned a new language, tested six new bread recipes, and launched a successful TikTok channel. I also hope your pants still fit and you remember how to put them on correctly. Working from home has been an interesting situation to say the least, and has come with a whirlwind of emotions and business updates, two things I never expected to type in the same sentence.

Running the JFrog DevOps Platform on Kubernetes in your enterprise can mean serving millions of artifacts to developers and customers each day. But operating at top performance requires being able to answer some vital questions. Like what is the most requested artifact? What is the most popular repo? Who are your heaviest users? For security, which users are doing bad things, and from which IPs?

E-commerce is skyrocketing, there is no doubt whatsoever. With unstoppable annual growth and close to 2,000 million users worldwide, e-commerce has already been able to surpass traditional commerce in some product categories and takes an important place in most of them. But what is the future of e-commerce?

Artificial intelligence refers to the machine's ability to learn and think. Given that it sort of mimics how humans think and reason, AI's application is virtually endless. AI reduces human error, do a task that is risky for humans to do, help humans solve complex, and so much more.

If you’re new to the Dashboards Beta app on Splunkbase and you’re trying to get started with building beautiful dashboards, the "Dashboards Beta" blog series is a great place to start.

OpenTelemetry — the merger of OpenCensus and OpenTracing — appeared in May of 2019, led by companies like Omnition (now a part of Splunk), Google, Microsoft, and others who are pushing the curve on observability. OpenTelemetry is a project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that has gathered contributors and supporters far and wide, becoming one of the most active projects found in open source today. It’s currently #2 behind only Kubernetes!

Driven by digital market shifts, organizations are adopting cloud and cloud-native technologies to deliver a better end-user experience, scale efficiently — both up and down —and increase innovation velocity. While distributed cloud architecture brings agility, it also brings operational complexity. Therefore, developing effective observability practices is all the more important for delivering a flawless end-user experience for cloud applications.

No, this isn’t physics news; hold that Nobel Prize. This is about downtime; the dark matter of the web. It’s invisible to most of us, but its gravity has huge effects on commerce, companies, and markets. For everybody who does business online, unplanned website or service outages drag down their revenue, drag down their profits, and drag down their brand.
