A foundational component of monitoring Google Cloud environments with Datadog is our Google Cloud Platform integration. This integration continuously collects metrics from all of your Google Cloud services and enriches them with tags, enabling you to scope dashboards and monitors to the relevant resources and seamlessly pivot across logs, metrics, and traces inside the Datadog platform.

OpenTelemetry (also abbreviated as OTEL) is an increasingly popular open-source observability platform under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), which is currently the most active project in the CNCF after Kubernetes. It was created to establish a unified and vendor-agnostic way for instrumenting, collecting, and exporting telemetry data for your system and application across traces, logs, and metrics.

Drawing synergy from ManageEngine, Zoho Corporation's business IT division, Site24x7 grew steadily to cover all geographies and sectors.

Today, Site24x7 is an AI-powered, comprehensive IT monitoring solution with a keen eye on privacy and security.

While developing the "new" canonical check feature for elmah.io Uptime Monitoring, I had to parse a website from C# and inspect the DOM. I have been using Html Agility Pack in the past so this was an obvious choice. I also looked at what happened in the space and found that AngleSharp is an excellent alternative. In this blog post, I'll showcase both frameworks to help you get started.

Compare Graphite and Prometheus, two leading open-source monitoring solutions.

Organizations implementing observability in their digital services architecture should be familiar with OpenTelemetry (OTEL) framework. While our OTEL guide provides an in-depth examination of the benefits of this open-source framework, the potential security challenges with OpenTelemetry warrant a separate guide.

Testing is still the most arduous, painful, and expensive task within a DevOps practice, regardless of framework or approach. Why? Because the current approaches to testing and development are not focused on production. Production-Driven Development (PDD), allows for rapid iteration without sacrificing stability or confidence. Following PDD, a small team or single developer can launch an application in weeks that used to take multiple teams months or a year.
